I erased the last text that I’d received from my son six years ago. It was time to move on from an anchor that only brought pain and regret. Why do we allow the past to haunt us when our future needs to be faced with a hope and clear conscience? Life can’t be lived over again but can be lived from here on for the One who gave Himself for us. Does the Bible address this phenomenon? Glad you asked.
Brothers, I do not consider that I have made it my own. But one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead, I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.
Do you have stuff that you need to let go of because the past can’t be changed? Give it some thought.
