I focus on this one thing: Forgetting the past and looking forward to what lies ahead.
Philippians 3:13
NLT Bible
At some point in our lives, we've probably all done things that we should not have done. We ignored good advice, made wrong decisions, did things our own way and caused problems for ourselves and others. Our past may be filled with pain, hardship, broken relationships, betrayal, loss of loved ones and much more. The time has come to put the past behind us and move forward. We don't need to mentally rehash and replay all the painful events of years gone by. If we've hurt someone, ask their forgiveness, confess it to God, forgive ourselves and press forward. The key to moving on is to learn from the past and to avoid repeating the same mistakes.
We need to forget the difficulties and failures of the past, to treasure the good moments and all the accomplishments, to build memories from them and with God's Help move forward to what lies ahead. There is so much that God wants us to do. We're here to be of service to Him and we can only do that by serving others. We must keep pressing forward and pursuing what still has to be accomplished. We need to ask God to lead and direct us to find and fulfill our God given destiny.
Thank you Lord for loving me in spite of my faults and shortcomings. Forgive me for the things I've done that were not pleasing to you. Help me Lord not to live in the past, but to focus my thoughts and energy on serving you. God, I know that one day I will spend eternity with you, but right now, give me the strength to move forward and live a life that's pleasing to You. I love You, Jesus. Amen!
Be Blessed!
Lydia
