The Past (10.27.16)

Faith Believers,
We can’t go back.
We can’t undo the mistakes we made.
There’s no use in saying, “I wish I had done this,” or
“Oh, if I had never done that!”

Unfortunately, some of us live with guilt for years and years. But the good news is that GOD has made a way for us to be delivered of that heavy burden.  John 1:9 says, “If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.”

If we carry a burden of guilt because we direly hurt someone else, how can we possibly be delivered from its oppressing memory? Well, Jesus said, “Come to me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest” (Matthew 11:28).

While praying about it is essential, it also might help to talk with a trusted friend about what you're going through. GOD uses people to speak into our lives, and often brings His transformative healing through others' intervention.

When we live in the past, or allow it to trouble us for any reason,
it can can rob us of GOD’s peace and joy.

It can keep us from being a channel of His light to the world.
Let our song be as the psalmist’s wrote: 
“This is the day the Lord has made; we will rejoice and be glad in it.”
