This day has never been. And wicked men wake with fear. Yesterday is now a testimony both for and against all men who lived it. It is written in stone; unmovable and sure.
As men slept. their testimony of yesterday was rolled up as a scroll. It was set in a place unreachable by the desire and hands of men. It was set among the scrolls of all their yesterdays. And the living God, himself alone. knows the place.
Men may remember small elements of yesterday. But they are powerless to affect the testimony, either for good or for bad. What remains in the hand of men is either regret or joy.
Left alone, regret is quickly covered up. Perhaps a man drinks himself to oblivion to forget. Perhaps he dresses his mind with the things he has learned to enjoy. He says, “I will cover my regret. It is too much for me to bear.”
But regret is like a hungry wolf who walks beside you in the woods. You hear the leaves rustle, just beyond your ability to see through the brush. The snap of a tiny twig. The brush of a branch against heavy fir. The sound of heavy breathing as desire looks your way. And if you could hear it, your ears would hear a drop of salivation strike the ground beneath his gaping mouth. So it is with your regret which you hurry to mask as you wake from sleep.
If this is the case of yesterday, what will be today. You will sleep tonight. Will the morning see you scramble to cover today’s crop of regret? Will you spend tomorrow trembling as you walk its path?
WHY? Why do you live this way? Why do you allow all your days to hunt you in the darkness? Is it that you don’t know how to be released? Is it that you have so well learned wickedness that you think it is normal? Have you even come to the point where you attribute your own wicked ways to the living God and His holy son? Do you say with confidence, “There is no way out!”
By this testimony you have no joy! It is ripped away from the reach of your hand. And you have ripped it away of your own volition.
How pathetic that men cover their regret with such trivial joy. How sad that men should even know the word eternity. How horrible the men should speak the word “joy”.
Black and dark are your days. Hunted like some terror filled rabbit, you spend your day in useless trivia. Ignoring the wolf does not quench his hunger for your blood.
Would you be free of this hideous cycle of hopeless behavior? Or have you come to love the thrill of death? Do you take joy in your useless life?
Have you heard of the gospel of Christ Jesus, the Holy Son of the living God? I tell you a truth. He can release you from your days as a victim of regret. But the choice remains yours.
You may read the Bible. You may listen to sermons. You may witness people who live free of regret. You may ask them and receive their answer. But if you would join them you must do the things of God.
It is not enough to hear. A blade of grass may shiver in its place from the sound waves of truth that shake its form. Never the less, it is cut down by the gardener. So it is with those who hear and do not do.
What is the urgency in your heart to be free of this cycle of death? Go! Go visit the holy and living words that can transform your very soul. Force your blind eyes to read. Then ask the living God for release. And continue for the rest of your days doing these things. This is the life that will bring you freedom.
Do you think he does not love you? Is not this thought a product of your own wicked and unloving heart? If God did not love you, would he have sent His Son to be murdered in your place? Why would the Holy living God do such a foolish and wicked thing?
Release is! The transformation from pathetic rabbit to a godly joyous man is real! Do not let your eyes look at others. Many will testify that they have looked and found nothing. How then can this man write these words? Pay no attention to them. They lie from the wickedness that is stored up in their own heart.
Regret comes to you because there are words describing joy. People are clean and are free and you have seen them. What will you give to join them?
