But if we really think about it, the past cripples us, immobilizing every bit of motivation that keeps us going; It pulls us down to the very bottom of defeat, distress, and vulnerability.
Some people intentionally bury themselves in the past while others are unconscious victims of the past blinded by the disastrous circumstances that await their great fall.
It is absolutely not my intention to say that it is easy to forget the past. Because I know for certain that it is not, never had been, never will be easy to do so.
My intention is to urge each one of you to be firm. Instead of living in the past, learn from it and step forward. Live one day at a time and be optimistic about everything. If all else fails, look up. God is just waiting for you to ask.
Lastly, never lose hope because we "can do all things through Christ who gives us strength. (Philippians 4:13)"
