Whether it’s a matter of years, or months, or even just yesterday…it’s all “past tense.” We can’t change the past. We must not live in the past. There is no point to it. But, we have Jesus…and, in Jesus, there is definitely a point to “today,” and we do have a promised future, and, as believers in Jesus, a great destination called “Heaven”…”Home!” So, leave the past behind…and press on in the great adventure of the journey Home!
Philippians 3:13-14
13 Brethren, I do not regard myself as having laid hold of it yet; but one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and reaching forward to what lies ahead, 14 I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.
“Our yesterdays present irreparable things to us; it is true that we have lost opportunities which will never return, but God can transform this destructive anxiety into a constructive thoughtfulness for the future. Let the past sleep, but let it sleep on the bosom of Christ. Leave the Irreparable Past in His hands, and step out into the Irresistible Future with Him.” ~ Oswald Chambers
The Lord bless you and keep you…
