Future with Him

“I frequently hear persons in old age,
say how they would live,
if they were to live their lives over again:
[I am] Resolved,
that I will live just so
as I can think I shall wish I had done,
supposing I live to old age. July 8, 1723.”
- Jonathan Edwards

“Our yesterdays present irreparable things to us;
it is true that we have lost opportunities
which will never return,
but God can transform this destructive anxiety
into a constructive thoughtfulness for the future.
Let the past sleep,
but let it sleep on the bosom of Christ.
Leave the Irreparable Past in His hands,
and step out into the Irresistible Future with Him.”
- Oswald Chambers
