NAVIGATING YOUR PAST

NAVIGATING YOUR PAST

 This morning I revisited an interesting conversation between friends:

 “Say, you look very depressed.  What are you thinking about?”

“My future,” was the quick answer.

“What makes it look so hopeless?”

“My past.”

 Pastor and author, Warren Wiersbe, advises us to avoid questioning why earlier days seem better than those we are presently experiencing.  He writes, “You do not move ahead by constantly looking in a rearview mirror.  The past is a rudder to guide you, not an anchor to drag you.  We must learn from the past but not live in the past.”

 In the Apostle Paul’s words: “…one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.” (Philippians 3:13-14)

 Let it go.

 Sisters and brothers, be continually blessed, and please (above all else) MAKE SURE YOU ARE READY TO MEET OUR SOON COMING KING. Maranatha!
