The Undo Button of Life

Peter went out and wept bitterly. —Luke 22:62

The sign that I have been on the computer writing too much lately, I find myself wanting to press the undo button after real life events. Example, I put my hair into an unruly ponytail. Undo. I began cooking pasta and then decided to just grab a sandwich instead. Undo. I returned my books when I still had one more thing to look at. Undo.

But sometimes even on the computer we can't undo our mistakes. Example: I was crushed last night when I realized that I hadn't saved and somehow my Word closed without the autorecovery document coming up. An hour's work down the tube! That is never a good thing, especially when you're exhausted.

But with Jesus, we don't have to worry about closing the wrong window... when we shut Him out, He's there waiting for us... all we have to do with is go to the door... ask, knock, and seek.
