Regret

     Regret is the cousin of false humility. It has the appearance of godliness, but no real substance. It denies both God's power and His nature. It claims that our failures are too great and strong for Him to forgive and to deal with.
     It continues to bring our focus back on us and our performance.
     Instead, we must choose to focus on God, on His grace and mercy. With them, He overcomes our weakness. He helps us to live rightly. He helps us to live in relationship with Him.
