2 Samuel 14:14 We must all die; we are like water spilled on the ground, which cannot be gathered up again. But God will not take away life, and He devises means so that the banished one will not remain an outcast.

Our words and actions, and sometimes even our in-actions cannot be undone. Oh how I wish I could have hit “Rewind” and redo some ghastly mistakes. Sometimes immediately after it happened!

Luckily God isn’t sitting on His throne with some kind of big zapper, and blast me into the netherworld. (Though I might have deserved it if He did). Even more luckily for me, God doesn’t give us our just deserts without first offering us a way out. This seems to happen over and over and over.

I guess instead of woefully wishing I could “Rewind” my inadequacies and iniquities, I should pay forward the Grace, Mercy and Compassion the Lord has so freely given me.
