The Past is Forgiven
I hate some aspects of my past. It was full of hurt and guilt. I wish I can just forget them, but they surface once in a while to bug me. I would wake up from a nightmare of failing my college exams. I would end up thinking my life went nowhere because of previous failed relationships. My past can sometimes slow me down.
I must not let guilt from the past destroy my confidence. I need to look in the future with the confidence that I’ve learned a lot from my mistakes. The lessons learned is a building block for better knowledge.
I must not let guilt ruin my relationships. I have to know that my past is forgiven, thanks to God’s grace and mercy.
Our God, you bless everyone whose sins you forgive and wipe away.
I must not be stuck in the past. My past is just that… the past. The Navy Seal has this saying, “The only easy day was yesterday”. I must keep saying that. My past gives me perspective, and it must not dictate my future. I have to move on.
