Here are five regrets you don't want to live with the rest of your life:
- Moral Regrets. Don't allow yourself to compromise your purity and be remembered forever with the stains of sexual sin (Rom. 12:1).
- Ministry Regrets. If the Lord is speaking to you about sharing your faith with a classmate, take the opportunity. It may never come again.
- Mentor Regrets. Submit yourself to a good pastor and others you trust to mold you and develop you as a leader. Now is your greatest time of learning and personal development.
- Maximum Regrets. Never leave yourself wondering what could have happened—in school, athletics, church, or any other part of life—if you would have given all you had to give to succeed.
- Media Regrets. Don't ever allow yourself to look back at your youth as a time when all you did was watch TV, play video games, and go to movies. Do something productive in your life, along with your entertainment.
