regret-

SCRIPTURE FOR TODAY Acts 26:12-18
12 “One time the leading priests gave me permission and the
power to go to Damascus. 13 On the way there, at noon,
I saw a light from heaven. It was brighter than the sun and flashed all around
me and those who were traveling with me. 14 We all fell to the ground.
Then I heard a voice speaking to me in the Hebrew language,[a]
saying, ‘Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting me? You are only
hurting yourself by fighting me.’ 15 I said, ‘Who are you,
Lord?’ The Lord said, ‘I am Jesus, the one you are persecuting.
16 Stand up! I have chosen you to be my servant and my
witness—you will tell people the things that you have seen and the things that I
will show you. This is why I have come to you today. 17 I will keep you safe from your own people and also from
the others. I am sending you to them 18 to open
their eyes so that they may turn away from darkness to the light, away from the
power of Satan and to God. Then their sins can be forgiven, and they can have a
place with those people who have been made holy by believing in
me.’
