You could look upon your past with regret – you who have matured now exponentially – and be awash in sadness and regret for a few self-indulgent moments – and hope and pray that they don’t take root. But you’ve got to realize that this older and wiser person that you are now never would have existed in your past situations. It would have been, as the aphorism goes, humanly impossible! You did the very best you could have at the time and so did everybody else, so that’s a wrap.

Now what are you going to do with all your newly gleaned knowledge? Now you’re much more keenly aware of the fact that God lives on the inside of you and would live your life through you, as you, thus making you unspeakably happy in ways too numerous to count. You could even ponder the fact that numerous realities of the same experience that you’re having exist simultaneously which to the uninitiated human mind is simply without credibility; but to those who have picked up some courage and curiosity along the way, a bright light shines whose name is Jesus.
