Jeremiah 29:11

For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says Yahweh, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you hope and a future.

In some crucial moments in my life, I recognize that I have done so many fatal errors. Sometimes, I already know that what I did is something hated by God, but I still do it. In fact, I have ever experienced some pains due to my mistakes.

In [bible]Genes47:9[/bible] Jacob in his old age admitted that he did a lot of mistakes. He had exchanged Esau's birthright cunningly and deceived his father to get a blessing . After he had realized it all, his life became bitter.

Have you ever imagined although he was cunning, God still named that beloved nation as Jacob (Israel)? It starts from the repentance of Jacob, he was even bold to face the consequences of his actions in the past by asking Esau for his apologize. This is a proof that God is able to make the plight of Jacob’s life for God's glory.

Maybe now you are thinking that there is no more time to fix your life. You even said in your heart, "Ah, God does not seem to care about me." However, just believe that God is watching your remorse and repentance. Keep believing that God is setting you back in His plan.

Do not regret the mistakes in the past, but make those mistakes as a lesson to build a better life.
