It’s in the past……… How about we all start over today. Clean slate in Christ, for ourselves and for others. Love keeps no record of wrongs. I know this is a high calling and our nature is to choke on it. I just believe everything in our life and actions should be redemptive. Our own actions. The actions of others. It’s in the past….. As we examine ourselves, is there anyone here who is still blaming someone else, or themselves, for a past situation, and it is hindering you from knowing the abundant life that Jesus has planned for you? Forgetting what is behind, and reaching toward what is ahead, press forward in Christ Jesus. In short, quit blaming others, or even your past self, for where your heart is at today. Instead, believe that the Lord can transform you right now. Take your eyes off of the past and fix them on Jesus. Believe for your own heart change and for the heart change of others. Love your enemies. Bless those who persecute you. Do not let your forgiveness be conditional. Do you see yourself as who you were? Or as who you ARE, in Christ? How do you view others? |
