Redeem Your Regrets

In this session, we are talking about redeeming our regrets. Redemption is what happens when unexpected good comes out of a situation that you could only expect to result in something bad. We could call this the long view of our mistakes. God wants to take our biggest mistakes; he wants to buy them back and redeem them.

We’re not just talking about getting over regret, and we’re certainly not talking about forgetting it. This idea is about God taking a regret – a mistake, an error, something you wish you could have a do-over on – and turning it into something He uses for good. If you look in the Merriam-Webster dictionary under “redeem”, the very first definition listed is “to buy back: repurchase”. God is ready to take your greatest regret and buy it back.
