We've all had youthful indescretions and mistakes, and eventually we grow old, and often full of regrets. Unfortunately, we don't get a second chance in most cases. That's why forgiveness is so important. Pray for forgiveness to those you've wronged, and pray for God to forgive you. May God bless you and give you peace.

Strange, even with everyone warning us as children, we still make those mistakes we were warned against. We have felt a super magnet that leads us to remorse, regrets, the guilt. Why do we chose to ignore truths like we are immune.
