God never regrets. Never; nothing; doesn’t even ever think about it. It never in any scope of imagination crosses His mind. God does not regret.

We must fail. I have come to that conclusion through a variety of influences. Life’s lessons show that we learn much when as Robert Burns so aptly observed “The best laid schemes of mice and men; Go often awry; And leave us nothing but grief and pain; For promised joy! “.
