Do Not Dwell on It, Let It Go (1.31.13)

Memories of the past have popped up again. 

People have told you that you should be over all of this drama but you still feel embarrassment. 

The reason these things keep coming up in your mind is that you have not properly dealt with these issues.
I know you have forgiven, but you cant seem to forget. Certain situations trigger these issues in your heart, and then you have to forgive yourself, and those that were involved, all over again. 


Don't keep dwelling on it.  When these situations come up, just simply choose to forgive again.  Continue this process over and over until the power of these things will lose its sting, and eventually go away. Then the issues will be only a memory, with no emotional down side. 

If you don't forgive and forget, neither will the LORD forgive you for your trespasses.

Then Peter came and said to Him, "Lord, how often shall my brother sin against me and I forgive him? Up to seven times?" Jesus said to him, "I do not say to you, up to seven times, but up to seventy times seven." - Matthew 18:21-22

Remember this: There is nothing that you will face today that the Lord can't bring you through.

Thank God for what you have, Trust God for what you need
