What To Do With Our Ugly Past
Everyone has a past which consists of both sweet memories and bad ones. In the past, we have done mistakes, we have some hurtful moments, we have regrets at some points... And most of those things cannot be changed nor rewind.There is no use of thinking "if only..." as those things have already happened. Keep thinking of it just make our life controlled by regrets, and it is not the right way to live in His truth.
As His children, we have the power to choose. He taught some simple prayers about the 3 time line in our life:
- "Give us today our daily bread" which points to the present
- "Forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors" which points to the past
- "Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one" which points to the future
God wants us to have faith on the Truth He has revealed to us and act based on that faith towards our present, past, and future.
He wants us to live free. Free from regrets, bitterness, anger, sadness, disappointments of the past. Free from worries of the future. Free to live day by day because of His grace and mercy (Lamentations 3:21-24).
Make your decission, and live free!
