9:62 (KJV)
And Jesus said unto him, No man, having put his
hand to the plough, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God.
We all have the nature of holding on
to memories, but the question is, must we hold on to those memories that are
hurting us? The answer is yours. The truth is, you can decide now not to cage
yourself in those hurtful memories, and this can be done by forgetting the
former things and not to dwell on them. Unfortunately, this is a very common
mistake made by many, but we can rise now to change that. It is never too late.
It says in Isaiah 43:18- Remember ye not the former
things, neither consider the things of old. We often regret our past and
refuse to forgive ourselves, but it is high time we look ahead and see our
glorious future. There is an assurance that there are so many new and better
things unfolding in our favour, so do not hold on to those memories, but
instead look ahead. Philippians 3:13- Brethren, I count
not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those
things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before.
Due to those past experiences, many
of us have been crushed and this is because of people’s behavior toward us. For
some of us, it even got to the point that we made horrible decision about life.
It is bound to happen because we are human, but I urge you to do the opposite
today. Remember, it is never too late for a change. We must always remember, we
have God on our side and He has promised never to leave you or forsake you, so
walk with that confidence. Just dust those memories and move on. The truth is
that it will be hard or difficult, but just trust God to heal you of that
broken heart and always remember that you are new in Christ.
PRAYER POINTS:
1. Father, please help me to develop
the attitude of not dwelling on the negative past, so that I can run with ease,
in Jesus name.
2. Oh Lord, please purge and purify
me inside and outside, so as to see the new and future me, in Jesus name.

QUOTE: What are you
still holding against that your friend? Do you know he/she has moved on?
