press on

 One thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.

- Philippians 3:13-14

 

We often take what has happened in the past and dwell on it.

Stop it right now!!

Don’t live in the past, you can’t change it.

Move along, nothing to see here.
Oh yes, the past can hurt.

But the way I see it you can either run from it or learn from it.

~ Rafiki The Lion King

Though we have been shaped by our past, something else can shape our future.

We can let what happened turn us into hateful, withdrawn or downright evil people.

Or, we can take what we have experienced and use it to make us better and to help others.

Don’t let your past mistakes hinder you from pressing forward.

Move forward, build your relationship with God, let go of the hurt and anger of the past.

Forgive and be forgiven, love and be loved.

One of my friends told me once that she wishes that she had my faith.

I thanked her for that, but assured her that it is not always easy.

Just like everyone, I have had terrible things happen, things that should have broken me, but my faith is what kept me going.

I may not know what will happen tomorrow, but I do know that I can’t live without God, nor would I want to.
It’s time to let go of what is behind you to embrace what is in front of you.
