Philippians 3:13-14, NIV
“Brothers and sisters, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.” Most of us have some painful wounds and hurts from the past. They might be the result of an event, a person, or just a memory. Time does not help to ease the pain and actually the pain can get worse as we go along in our life. The day I came to know Christ, I asked our Heavenly Father one question, “why was my life like that?” He gave me an answer and His answer satisfied me and comforted me, but does this mean that I was healed? Sorry girls, the answer from the Lord was only a beginning of that process. The wounds are still there but I learned that I do not need to focus on them, but I need to know how to look at it in a positive way. Without my past, I would not have recognized how much I desired God and how much I desired His love. My girlfriends, do not allow your past to control your present or your future. If you are willing to let it go, God is willing to be your doctor and heal you and be your life guide to direct you into the new life He planned for you. There He told us He will wipe away all the tears from our eyes and there shall be no more pain. Come and let Jesus hold your hand and go forward to your beautiful future! |
