LEAVE THE PAST BEHIND

"Do not remember the rebellious sins of my youth. Remember me in the light of your unfailing love, for you are merciful, O Lord." Psalms 25:7 (NLT)


Sometimes the guilt of how we handled our past relationships or contributed to how they ended can weigh us down. We may look back at our carelessness, naivity, insecurities, etc., and be filled with regrets of the past. There is a plethora of emotions and thoughts that have eaten away at our self-esteem and self-worth over the years. Rev. Funke Ewuosho said it well: 'we can't move on to new things until we forget the pains of the past'.

I remember some time ago being constantly bombarded with thoughts: 'what could I have done better?' 'Should I have known better?' God reminded me in those moments that His plans for me are beyond my mistakes. I had to come to the realisation of Romans 8:28 - all things work for my good because I love God; and Jeremiah 18:6 - God is the potter, I am just the clay!  So although I may have missed some things due to my humanity, God's plans for me are bigger than my mistakes and the circumstances I find myself in.  

It is also important to take accountability for our actions or inactions. Such a time of reflection and repentance is vital to moving forward. Repentance brings us back to God, and reflection should lead us towards maturity, and prepares us for the future. Remember, God's mercy is available to us at anytime when we turn back to Him. God still has great plans for us!

So run to the Father today. Lay down everything at His feet, and receive a fresh start from God.


 JOURNAL:
What things have you been holding on to from your past relationship/s that has weighed you down? Write them out and lay them down before God. Seek forgiveness from those you have offended and repent before God. Then receive mercy from your loving Father, as you move forward with a fresh start.
