(I was praying; and when I said, “I want to live my life without regret,”)
*The word of Holy Son, Jesus*
Life without regret.
To live a life without regret is what everyone wants. Then how can you live your life that has no regret? Let’s talk about it.
You have a certain amount of monthly income which you use as your living expenses. You spend that money a little here and a little there, eating and going around places. Then one day, you sit down and calculate what’s left. You are surprised that you have spent more than what you thought; and naturally, the balance you thought you had in the bank is seriously lower than you expected. You must have had that experience.
Also, a lot of people actually use their cash cards or issue checks, without knowing how much they have left in their bank accounts. When the fund is not enough, their accounts go into the red. The bank penalizes them for issuing checks with insufficient balances in their accounts. And the parties they gave the checks to also charge them for returned checks.
THIS is a life in the red, that is, a regretful life.
Now, what if this money we are talking about is your time, your youth, your physical energy, your vitality, or your love?
How are you managing your lives?
Are you checking your balance?
Do you check how much time you have left
Where you spend your youth, and
To whom you give your heart?
Are you calculating daily?
If you are not, know this.
Without you realizing it, you may be getting into a negative balance. You will end up regretting.
When you see your account statement once day, you will see how short your righteousness is, how deficient your goodness is, how lacking your pure love toward Heaven and toward your brothers within the Lord is, and how short your compassion and your mercy are. Your life is a loss.
You will have to pay penalties, and struggle for a long period of time to get out of the deficit. If you cannot get out of it even after struggles, you may have to file a bankruptcy.
If you, who are so bright with money and love money, fail to manage it properly, so get into a negative balance; how about the spiritual welfare, the life of goodness that you are not too passionately interested in?
Come to Me.
I will be an expert to give you consultations.
I will consolidate all your debts, and will let you pay only a manageable amount each month. My yoke is easy and light. All you who are weary and burdened, come to Me. Bring Me all your heavy burdens.
Do you think I am just saying these things, for no reason?
Do you think I will make a promise that I cannot keep?
You need to manage your debts.
If you believe in Me as your Savior and believe in God as the Creator, then your big debt has already been cleared up. However, small debts, which you keep incurring each day as you live your lives are not that easy to handle, either.
As soon as your account balance goes into the red, even by one penny, doesn’t your bank charge you over 30.00 for non sufficient fund? Do you think Satan will be generous to you? One penny is the least amount. The Bible says that you cannot enter heaven if you leave your debt unpaid, even one penny, doesn’t it?
Settle your accounts by repenting.
Let your debts be absolved by repenting.
Even if I write your debt off and make your negative balance out of the red, how can you sustain your life with the zero balance? Don’t you need money to spend? Don’t you have to make money?
Make righteousness, earn goodness, earn mercy, earn compassion, earn kind deeds, earn love, earn knowledge, earn wisdom, earn prayer!
Make them and earn them.
And save them, little by little, and you will be ready for an emergency. Don’t you think you must be prepared for an emergency that occurs in the life of faith, too? Shouldn’t you be equipped to survive a time of disaster?
Store your righteousness in your barn
In your storage, amass the favors of God, the grace of God.
Oh, My people
Heed to what I say.
