Sorry He Made Us

Austin Gardner • January 1, 2023

He regretted having made man.


Genesis 6:5 And God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.


God created the world. When He finished, He saw it was perfect. Adam and Eve lived in a paradise beyond our wildest imaginations. They had everything anyone could ever want. Satan came along to tempt them so that they could have more. Suddenly, the blessed pair felt dissatisfaction. They desired whatever they didn’t have.


Adam and Eve sinned by trying to become gods and choosing what was best for themselves. They ate the fruit that God told them not to eat. They had only one restriction, but that was too much. Who was God to say to them what to do? They sinned, and God cast them out of the garden.


The rebellion Adam and Eve had shown spread to the entire human race. All wanted to be minor gods. Everyone wanted to decide for themselves what they would do with their lives.


Humanity became sinful. Sin has increased so far that God plans to destroy the earth with a flood. What I want you to see hit and hurt me. Imagine God was sorry that He had made man. He was disappointed. It grieved Him that man had so turned from Him. I ache thinking of His hurt that I read in this verse. He grieved. He regretted having made man. God was sorry!


I so hunger for Him not to regret me! I don’t want Him to be sorry He gave me life. He put me in His ministry. I want to live up to what He wants. I want to please Him. He deserves more than I can give, but I want to please him.

Do you ever think about how He feels? Do you hunger to please Him? Let’s look to Jesus this year like never. Let’s please Him, even though we know He is pleased.

We need policies and control mechanisms but must learn not to rely on them exclusively. They undermine the very essence of a thriving workplace.

Your friends have left you. All earthly possessions are gone. Those you thought love you want you dead. What do you do?

Gratitude, a sentiment often tucked away in the recesses of our hearts, possesses the transformative power to enrich not only our lives but also the lives of those around us.

In January of 1987 Betty, the kids, and I arrived in Querétaro, Mexico to study Spanish. I literally didn’t know ten words. I am forever indebted to Georgia, Hermana Luisa, Webb for the language institute she ran for many years. She was strict. She pushed hard. Betty cried on more than one occasion. Without the challenge I know that I never would have learned the language. The language school gave me structure, discipline, help learning what to do next. Read the rest of the letter then go watch this video the BBF did of Miss Webb. When you get this letter, Lord willing, Betty and I will be in Mexico and we will be visiting this wonderful godly lady. I thought of this lady often over the years. I remembered how hard she had been on me. I remembered being tortured it seemed but I survived Hermana Luisa and she made me a thriving missionary.  Thank you Hermana Luisa for helping a red neck Tennessee hillbilly learn enough Spanish to do some ministry. God bless you. So know that language school might be very beneficial for you. Efficient Resource Utilization: Organized lesson plans and materials ensure learners make the most of their study time, covering essential language elements in a coherent manner. Clear Learning Objectives: Well-organized courses outline clear learning objectives, helping learners understand what to expect and what is expected of them. Resource Accessibility: Organized language schools provide learners with easy access to a variety of resources, including textbooks, multimedia materials, and language software.
