Missed chances

this is the scripture that comes to mind whenever i slip into that “what if i did this differently” or "i fell short in that moment" spiral. because when Jesus uses the word if, it's a real, biblical example of perfect knowledge meeting human freedom. He's not forcing a specific outcome, but revealing what would have happened if circumstances had been different.

“Do not be too moral. You may chest yourself out of much life so. Aim above morality. Be not simply good; be good for something.”

“You must love in such a way that the person you love feels free.”

“See to it that no one takes you captive through hollow and deceptive philosophy, which depends on human tradition and the elemental spiritual forces of this world rather than on Christ.”
