The bitterest tears shed over graves are for words left unsaid and deeds left undone. – Harriet Beecher Stowe
At the end of our lives, we’d be surprised at what our biggest regrets shall be.
Our biggest regret won’t be that we have been kinder than we should have been.
Our biggest regret won’t be that we have forgiven someone who did not deserve our mercy.
Our biggest regret won’t be that we have allowed our hearts to trust someone who will only hurt us in the end.
Our biggest regret shall be that we have been less kind than we should have been.
Our biggest regret shall be that we have not forgiven someone who has sought for our mercy.
Our biggest regret shall be that we have not loved, and that we have hurt those whom God has sent our way to be loved.
“But I tell you who hear: love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, and pray for those who mistreat you. To him who strikes you on the cheek, offer also the other; and from him who takes away your cloak, don’t withhold your coat also. Give to everyone who asks you, and don’t ask him who takes away your goods to give them back again.” – Luke 6, WEBBE
