No REGRETS!!!

Hey students let me tell you what is on my mind today. I was listening to a preacher today and he was actually talking about being a wise woman. In one part he read a poem of sorts from a lady who was talking about all the things she would have done differently if given a chance to live life over. As I was listening I was thinking of you students. One of the things that motivates me as a student pastor is the desire to help you students live life now with no regrets. Carpe diem is Latin for seize the day. Now that can be used in a destructive way to just live life on the edge because there might not be a tomorrow. But in a positive way it just means don't wait to live life, live it to its fullest now with no regrets. As I listened to the preacher read all the regrets of the woman, I just wanted more than anything to plead with you students to give yourself fully and completely to the Lord Jesus Christ. Walk with Him with no reservations, nothing held back. Follow Him with all of your heart and allow Him to define your life. A life with no regrets begins by seizing the day and following Christ now. Not when you get older, not when you have a family, not after you have sown your wild oats, but NOW! Why is that so hard? I mean as you look around we see more people living with regrets than people living in the fullness of Christ. One reason for you as a student is that you don't realize how important the decisions you are making (or not making) are. I wish someone would have woke me up as a teenager and helped me to make better decisions. Let me encourage you follow Christ today and live with NO REGRETS!
