Regret only leads to a place of deceit

I know there is no place for regret, for the sense of it just reveals the unhappiness perceived in the present – and the present with You I would never change. It’s as many believe, that the past has led to the now.

But I do wonder if You have a sorrow that the direction of Your creation of man may not have progressed to where You had hoped it would, that perhaps Your joy would have been greater had man turned to You with a full heart of desire. I know Your heart is deeply moved when men reject You, yet You continue to follow it, for some men do respond. Is there regret?

There was once, where all men moved away from Me, save a few, whom I kept. My regret caused Me to wash away all I had created for them, and even all other men, for they rejected all to set their own course. How much we could have done, and become, together! My hope was that all would respond to love, recognize the place of blessing in all they would do, being with Me their greatest desire. But they chose themselves, entertained their own wisdom, moved into thinking they could have greater abundance within their own power. Why be subject to another, even if it was the Creator? Why not create for themselves?

Yes, My heart was broken at rejection. Yet My love for man knew a greater potential he did not understand, an abundance of all things he could not comprehend, a place of beauty and fulfillment he could not see. My heart had this for him from the start and remains so in this moment. I would give all to him. That is the movement of My heart, and My intent, that man would become all things. This desire has not changed from the beginning.

It is the same for you – you held to the one you thought would give you all things you sought, the love, being, a place of joy. Yet it was not to be in another person for it was to be in Me. You too had regret, yet you held out for your desires, and they have reached their fulfillment in Me, and now you sense you have all you have desired. Can there be any regret in the path taken? Not for you, and not for Me. For we are now together. This is the desire accomplished for us both.

So no, there is no regret, and no sadness now. Only joy. Regret only leads to a place of deceit – that things might have met your expectations had a different path been taken, that you would have been fulfilled, and happier. Men always believe this, much to their great sadness, for they have always taken their own path, and look where it has led – ultimately to their own destruction.

No, love’s path may be difficult, yet there is a wholeness of feeling that within it is everything one would need, an embrace that gives all of itself to the one that would seek for all of it. This is true love, the fullness of the heart revealed. Do you feel it? Is there now any regret?
