We all have regrets. Everyone wishes they either hadn't said something or had said something, or hadn't done something or wish they did. But can you really regret something that brought you to the foot of the Cross knowing it was the only thing that could? Regretting it took something so hurtful, so bad, so vile, and/or so 'unlike you'; to bring you to the point of repentence is one thing, but can you regret the act (or inaction) now that you sit in His mercy seat? I think of Paul's thorn in the flesh.
2 Corinthians 12:7-8
7 To keep me from becoming conceited because of these surpassingly great revelations, there was given me a thorn in my flesh, a messenger of Satan, to torment me. 8 Three times I pleaded with the Lord to take it away from me.
I have a thorn deep into my very soul. I never understood how it came about, only that it will remain with me until my death. It's more than I can bear. I have pleaded thousands upon thousands of times with GOD to remove it.
What do you do with that?
