Your Past Has Passed

You know, sometimes I feel like I’m the king of dwelling in the past. I’ve learned over the years that mindset is crippling. It holds back; it makes excuses. I, for one, want to seize the present and have a forward-thinking attitude.

Your last line captures it beautifully. God give us the grace to look forward and not behind.

It’s funny how, as you get older you phase out of the looking at your past failures/regrets, and celebrating the joys. I noticed that big time with my grandfather before he passed. Learned a lot from that.

It’s there. It happened. Move along.
Good words.

Gosh, you’re so right. I think it’s important to view our past failures and screw ups like God does… He gives no thought to them. I can relate to this because for years I lived with the weight of my sin because of the guilt I felt. When we leave our sin at the cross, guilt is something that’s completely self-inflicted and something that’s used to hinder us from moving forward.

Beautifully said. Thank you.
