friends are you living a life of regrets thinking, “If only…”? “If only I had that college education… If only I had married the right girl… If only I had taken up the other job… If only I had not made that stupid mistake…”
Is your past robbing you of the joy of today? Then forget your past!
You might say, you have been to hell, did silly things that you regret, you have offering sacrifices to demons and lots of bad shameful bad stuff.
Do not worries God's grace in Jesus is much more powerful than that.
Consider Paul. Paul was religious twisted fanatic like today terrorist spread violence in the name of religion. If the devil had anything to bring against Paul, it would be reminders of how he had persecuted the early christians and caused suffering and deaths of many, including Stephen, the first Christian martyr.
Paul had done horrendous things that were hard for him to forget. But he had such a revelation of God’s awesome forgiveness that he could say, “forgetting those things which are behind… I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus”.
Beloved, God has forgiven you of all your sins. He has completely forgiven you and declared, “Your sins and lawless deeds, I will remember no more.” (Hebrews 10:17)
Like Paul, you can forget your past, the wrongs you have done and the hurts you have caused others or been through yourself. God can take the tears of yesterday and transform them into the miracles of tomorrow. He can restore to you in all abundance what you have lost. He can cause all things, even the painful events of your past, to work together for your good. (Romans 8:28)
God’s Word says, “The glory of the Lord shall be your rear guard.” (Isaiah 58:8) His glory will cover your past. Wherever you go, His glory covers your past. It is no longer the same past that you know of because His glory has descended on it. Your past is past. It has been wiped out. It is gone! So don’t let your past rob you of today’s joy any longer!
Because God’s glory covers your past, you don’t have to let your past rob you of today’s joy.
Live today in faith. God will restore your wasted years turn it into blessing not only for yourself but others also ; so that the glory of God will shine through you as you devoted your life to him . Live now in peace love joy
