What if you can see the future?
"Argh! How I wish I could have done this/that?"
"Argh! If only..."
Sounds familiar? What not make ifs come true? Assuming you could see your own future or better still, you could go back to the past and change it, what will you do? Take either case, and do not take both if not its too imba. Will you still allow what is pre-planned for you to be carried out that way? Doubt so eh.
If you really can see your own future, then you have no future because you will sure change your future to something you desire. Humans are selfish. Imagine one day you met a car accident and die and just in time you have a choice to make - to revert back time or not to, what will you choose? In most circumstances I would say that most will choose to revert back time and disturb the time frame, for example you ate chocolate cake->walked street 32->decided to jay walk->death, maybe you will have change the time line by eating cheese cake instead. Ha ha you're so funny, you maybe thinking. But haven't you heard this phrase, "Everything that happens has a cause and effect"?
So what if you survived? At that point of time, one life has to disappear, what if your life was exchanged by someone else, someone very close to you?
For those who are weary, always thinking about your future, your life, you current status, here is a promise from God:
"To everything there is a season,
A time for every purpose under heaven:
A time to be born, And a time to die;
A time to plant, And a time to pluck what is planted;
A time to kill, And a time to heal;
A time to break down, And a time to build up;
A time to weep, And a time to laugh;
A time to mourn, And a time to dance;
A time to cast away stones, And a time to gather stones;
A time to embrace, And a time to refrain from embracing;
A time to gain, And a time to lose;
A time to keep, And a time to throw away;
A time to tear, And a time to sew;
A time to keep silence, And a time to speak;
A time to love, And a time to hate;
A time of war, And a time of peace."
(Ecclesiastes 3:1-8)
If you are sick and tired of saying, "What ifs...", stop saying.
If you are a failure in living your own life the way you want it to be, its okay because you are not born to be good at that.
Ifs.
Leave everything to God! Cast your burdens to Him and He will lead your path straight. Since you cannot dictate your own time, why not not dictate and be patient to wait for God's timing which He has already planned just for You and Me.
