I don't have that many regrets -- not unless I think about it for a long time. Obviously, I regret wasting time with certain people and I regret how I responded to certain situations but my biggest regret was wasting a lot of my life away from the Lord. I mean I am only twenty years old and it doesn't seem like I wasted that much time, but I didn't live my life in the ways of pleasing the Lord until about three years ago, despite being saved and baptized when I was nine yeas old. I just wish that I had done a few things differently, in the way that I would do them now.
Can you think of someone who has this mindset: "I'm a Christian but I am young and have plenty of time to go to church and serve Jesus. I'm going to live my life how I want to now and live for Jesus when I am older."
This idea is so upsetting to me. From the day that you commit your life to the Lord, you are supposed to throw away all of your sinful ways and live your life as the Lord has written out in the Bible. Obviously, we all make mistakes, but learning from those mistakes and asking the Lord to forgive them and guide you to avoid them in the future is what we are meant to do.
It's very natural to question God at times and it's natural to have doubts. This is where your faith steps in and I think when you are able to see Jesus in your life again that you are made a person of stronger faith. But when you are questioning, it doesn't mean that you can throw away all the morals that you've had.
The Lord will always be there but you won't always be here. Don't wait until it's too late.
catch you later,

Hereby know we that we dwell in him, and he in us, because he hath given us of his Spirit. And we have seen and do testify that the Father sent the Son to be the Saviour of the world. Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwelleth in him, and he in God. // 1 John 4:13-15 KJV
