If I Hadn’t

Have you ever said to yourself, “If I hadn’t…? You know, if I hadn’t done this or hadn’t done that? We look back at our lives and realize that we are suffering the consequences of a previous wrong decision – “If I hadn’t of…?” We are all in the same boat! I’m suffering physically today because of past wrong decisions! “If I hadn’t climbed up on that roof (at age 14) to observe the condition of the guttering on our house, I wouldn’t have fallen off the roof and fractured my lower back! That fall started a life long journey of pain, suffering and numerous surgeries that have left me almost not able to walk! Then, later on in life, at age 24, if I hadn’t got in that friend’s car, I wouldn’t have been in that automobile accident and had my neck broken! Because of the broken neck, I ended up, years later, having a ruptured disc in my neck, surgery, and been suffering ever since, right up to this very day (just saw the pain specialist yesterday to plan for another epidural in my neck because of severe pain and lack of range of motion due to severe arthritis and bone spurs)! I have a whole list of, “If I hadn’t of…?” We need to be very careful about making wrong decisions that end up costing us terrible consequences in the future! The consequences can be in our family, finances, mental state and even our physical condition! What’s interesting is that we make wrong decisions, suffer the consequences and turn right around and blame God for everything! Very seldom do people want to accept responsibility for their actions! We should never blame God when something bad happens in our lives! Remember – It’s impossible for a good God to do bad things!!!
