Bible Reading: Lamentations 3:22-24 “The Lord’s love never ends; his mercies never stop. They are new every morning; Lord, your loyalty is great. I say to myself, “The Lord is mine, so I hope in him.” (NCV)

Text: Matthew 6:33

Lessons I’ve learned:

#1—Try hard to not do or say thins that I’m going to regret

#2—When in doubt, don’t

#3—Try hard to live your life so that you have no regrets

Three common regrets at the end of our lives:

#1—Not spending enough time with loved ones

          James 4:13-14

          Proverbs 19:11

          Hebrews 12:14

          Ephesians 4:31-32

#2—Spending too much time at work

          Exodus 20:8-11

#3—Failing to pursue our passions

          Psalm 37:4

• Scripture gives us permission to enjoy our family and friends
• Scripture gives us permission to enjoy life; to be rest; to be healthy; as well as permission to work
• Scripture gives us permission to be fulfilled in our lives and to accomplish wonderful things that bring honor to God and blesses us and others

John 10:10—Satan’s purpose is to steal, kill, and destroy. God’s purpose is to give us a rich and satisfying life.
