IT IS OUR DIRECTION THAT IS IMPORTANT

Ray, your post brings out an important point. Direction is more important than position. If a ship is 20 miles from Spain but it is headed west, the ship will not get to Spain. But if a ship is 3000 miles from Spain, and headed east across the Atlantic, even though it is a long way off it will get there, as long as it keep going east. Repentance is a change of direction, and so we are walking away from our sins. The longer we walk with God the further away they become. I had sins that I regretted so much, that I thought the regret would just crush me forever. But where is that crushing regret now; The Lord Jesus has changed my regret into thanksgiving. It is a miracle, I still am aware that I sinned and do not want to ever do the same again; but Jesus has taken away the regret. He has made it all come out somehow for my good. It is beyond our understanding. Lou Newton
