said that, “Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, today is a gift of
God, which is why we call it the present.” Sometimes in life we go through
issues and challenges that we do not like to go through again. At times, the
experience of the past is so harsh and bad that we find it very hard to forget.
Some of us even let the past determine how we act in the present and what
vision we carve out for our future.
Someone would
say, “Bro, the last person I dated was a total jerk.” Sorry about that, but the
next guy might be the right one. Don’t stop all relationships just because you
got hooked up with a turkey. Cut the rope and move on. We are to learn from the
past, but the moment we allow our past failures stop us from taking another
step, we are done for.
Hello, Isa
43:19 says, “Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye
not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the
desert.” Don’t be a slave of your past. Take charge of your present and future.
The past is past, you cannot get it back again, do something about your today
and tomorrow which are still within your control.
You become
what you decide to be. You need to let go of what has passed and look forward
with hope and faith to that great, colorful and bright future ahead of you. Phil
3:13b says, “..but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are
behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before.” The only way
you can enjoy your future is to let go of your past hurts and failures and
press forward.
Jer 29:11
says, “For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD,
thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.” Your future
is not dependent on your past. I pray that for your past shame ye shall have
double honor in Jesus Name. Amen!
