  • Susan Dalton on Ecclesiastes 11:10 - 12 years ago
    Happy New Year!
    "Therefore remove sorrow from thy heart, and put away evil from thy flesh: for childhood and youth are vanity." ( Ecclesiastes 11:10)

    When looking back over a year or over a life, many may have sorrow of heart and see where they went wrong.

    When we walk contrary to God's ways and walk in our own ways, when we look back we can have sorrow of heart and regret the way we took.

    I heard a man asked in an interview what was his biggest regret in life; his answer was the husband he was in his first marriage. I heard sorrow of heart and regret. The sorrow is what the heart feels and knows; the evil in the flesh is the wrong way seen.

    A man was beaming talking about his love of the Lord. As he talked, he referenced all the tattoes that were on his body; he said they were before he came to the Lord. Though his flesh evidenced a way he wished he had not gone, and his heart expressed recognition and sorrow of a way he had took, he had joy in the spirit. His new man rejoiced, even as he sought to acknowledge the lasting image of the old man. Yet, as he stayed in the new man and the spirit of the Lord, the image of the old was covered.

    I heard a man say his biggest regrets in life were distractions. He expressed sorrow of heart when looking at the error of his flesh.

    For any to not have sorrow of heart and to not be grieved over the wrong seen in their flesh, the sorrow and the wrong must be removed.

    Jesus Christ has come, and in Him is forgiveness of all sins. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

    If any has sinned against us, we forgive as Christ has forgiven us. If we have sinned against others, we seek their forgiveness.

    As we begin to walk anew, if we desire to not have sorrow of heart and to not see a wrong way in our flesh, we must walk in the Spirit, keeping the way of the Lord and His commandments.
