What if?

Have you ever wondered what your life would be like if you had not…fill in the blank. We all have! To contemplate a road not taken and the consequences is called a counterfactual. As you play the video in your mind of the way things would have, could have or should have been had you chosen differently; or if that accident didn’t occur; or that business partner hadn’t ripped you off…what you are doing is imagining a different outcome. Contemplating a counterfactual is an opportunity to recalculate your path and make corrections; it’s a reminder for us to choose wisely…because to replay the counterfactual in your mind means you already have experienced a different path!

So…choose wisely and follow the Spirit’s direction. Deviating from God’s Perfect Solution for your life creates a mind-numbing amount of What ifs, but the good news is this…Jesus never stops recalculating the path. He is all about U-turns and midcourse corrections that find us back on the road to renovation.
