I So Hate Consequences

Relient K sing a called "I so Hate Consequences". I identified with this song last week. I was suffering the consequences of not going to the Dentist for eleven years. I had a rather dodgy tooth that needed a massive filling. Afterward, I was experiencing a lot of pain and needed anti-biotics to clear it up. I might still need a root canal in the future.

Needless to say I am being much better this things now. I can't undo the mistakes of the past but I make sure I don't keep doing them. Unfortunately, the consequences still remain.

It occurs to me that sin is a bit like that. When we truly repent, we receive forgiveness and change our ways. The future doesn't have to be the same as the past. However, the consequences can remain, and sometimes they can hurt.

There is a good side to consequences however, They motivate us to change, to seek help and forgiveness, just like a sore tooth that you can no longer ignore.
