No Regrets

We are finishing our sermon series "One Month to Live" tomorrow and the topic is "living a no-regrets life." The text that I am using is 2 Corinthians 12:7-10 where Paul talks about his "thorn in the flesh." If you remember the story, Paul asked God three times to take the thorn away, but God said, "My grace is sufficient for you. My power is made perfect in your weakness." That is heavy. We just don't get that. We think of a no-regrets life as completing all of the items on our bucket list, or being bold and daring. Au contraire! Living the no-regrets life simply means that we turn it over to God. It is God who redeems our regrets and renews our lives. God's power is made perfect in our weakness! That means that God's strength is revealed in our lack of strength. We need to remember that. I saw a youtube video recently that depicts this so well. I am may even use it in my sermon tomorrow. Check it out.
