TODAY’S SCRIPTURE
|

“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.”

(Philippians 3:13,
NIV)

TODAY’S WORD from Joel and Victoria
|
|
It’s easy to go through life
focused on what didn’t work out, who hurt us, or the mistakes we’ve made. “If
only I would have finished college. If only I would have spent more time with
my children. If only that company wouldn’t have laid me off after 20 years.
That’s just not right.”
As long as you’re living in
regret, focused on the negative things of the past, it’s going to keep you
from the bright future God has in store. You’ve got to let go of what didn’t
work out. Let go of the hurts and pain. Let go of your disappointments and
failures. You can’t do anything about the past, but you can do something
about right now. Whether it happened 20 years ago or 20 minutes ago, let it
go and move forward. If you keep bringing negative baggage from yesterday into
today, it will poison your future. You may have had an unfair past, but you
don’t have to have an unfair future. You may have gotten off to a rough start
in life, but it’s not how you start that matters. It’s how you finish.
