Today I was reminded of my past failures, sins and regrets. I remembered the times when I disappointed God and might have broken His heart. The place was sad and full of pain; regrets that I could have done things differently. Does this bother God? Why do we remember these moments of past regrets?

When you hold onto the power of inner peace, you hold the keys to survival. Inner peace fuels inner strength, it will drive you to push beyond yourself, propelling you to fight life’s battles.
