Looking back over your shoulder is sometimes a painful experience, especially when you see saddened, shamed, or angry faces. If we were honest with ourselves, we’d admit that the view over our shoulders has too often been a garbage dump when it comes to our relationships. We see the rotten fruit of regrets for things said and not said—a trash bag full of guilt, broken promises, tangled emotions, and nonrecyclable pride. When you look back over your relationships, do you see regrets? If you do, then it’s time to clear away the trash.

Joel 1:2-20; 2:12-27
