If Only

If Only can be one of the most dangerous phrases in the English language.  It can keep us paralyzed and living in the past.  “If only I had another chance…,” “If only I could go back to my twenties…,” “If only I had chosen a different career…,” “If only I had said no…,” “If only I had said yes…,”

As we get older, it is probably inevitable that we begin to wonder about the “If Onlys,” in our lives.  But if Christians spend to much time in the world of ‘if onlys” than they rob themselves of the here and now and the blessings that the Lord has in store.

When Christians begin to ponder the “if onlys” – I suggest they remind themselves of the words of the Apostle Paul in Philippians 3:13-14:

"Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.”


Glory To God For All That He Has Done
