We’re old men now, but we still have all the memories of our youth. He said to me in a public setting, “Hey, Gary, I still have that picture of you and your best friend standing behind all those beer cans you consumed.” I didn’t have to see the picture because it is still fresh in the hard drive of my mind. I was godless then and beer was king. I’m so glad that Jesus is King now and alcohol is a thing of the past. However, sometimes I appreciate those who remind me that I’m not the kid that started out on this journey.
2 Corinthians 5:17
Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come.
1 Peter 4:4
Now those “friends” think it is strange that you no longer join them in all the wild and wasteful things they do.
Your past is now irrelevant if God has forgiven you. Give it some thought.
