What if

Talked to my friend about what ifs. She mentioned that she was afraid of the what if, of the what if she made the wrong choice.

I came to the conclusion, we must never entertain the what if once we have made the decision. The what if's must be dealt with at the start of the decision making. We need to get that out of the way. Once we made the decision, hold in our heart the conviction that based on the information put to us at the point of time, we made the right decision after going through all the steps.

The what if questions are crucial to help us paint the appropriate picture of our choices. The what if questions will highlight our opportunity cost, or the real cost of choice. We need that.

This applies even if God calls us to a place. We need to evaluate the choices set before us, and decide if we want to obey. Luke 14:28 urges, no instructs us, to count the cost. And part of the cost is to consider the what if.

After that, do not look back. After that, do not hesitate, turn from left or right. But press on. Once we decided, do not live a life of regret.

You have one life. Live it fullest. No regrets.
