If only...

What a prideful phrase this this! How we languish in guilt at times, thinking the whole world could have been saved if only we had answered that phone call or taken a different path to work. But how silly this is! God only allows things to happen from which He can create a greater good. If we stay in the past pridefully wallowing in guilt or wishful thinking, we cannot be a part of this greater good. We must move on, with our hand firmly in our Lord's, letting him lead us through the present into the future.
