“Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland..."
Isaiah 43:18-19 NIV
"Brothers and sisters, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But 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 NIV
What God can achieve in 24 hours, on your own, you cannot even in 24 years. If you look at your life careful you will see this truth. Often we are caught missing the moment, for most of the time we're thinking of what has gone by or are anxious about what our future holds, perhaps that's why we're missing out on 'The Present' which is God's gift to us. Each new day we are called to pick up our cross and to strengthen this our endeavor Jesus taught us to pray for our daily bread from God the Father. Each new day is a sign of Hope, won at Calvary. A sign that in Him there is victory, a sign to never give up, a sign of New Life, a sign that no matter how hopeless the situation is, there is still a chance, a sign that there is a resurrection. Therefore, leave the past where it rightfully belongs, behind, and stop worrying about the future. Embrace your present as you cling on to that Hope in Christ, for in it, you are born to new life and are set free...
I pray that God our Loving Father gives you the grace to leave your past behind and to look forward to the true and lasting Hope in Christ Jesus and may you be born anew by His Holy Spirit. Amen
God Bless you and your loved ones :)
