Nothing can change the past. Not even God. But with God’s help you can change how you look at the past and even how you feel about it. What happened in the past isn’t what is destroying you; it’s what you’re doing to yourself because of the past. Stop punishing yourself. Stop blaming others, or even God. Embrace the future with faith and you will be amazed at what God will do.

“One thing I do: Forgetting what is behind…I press on toward the goal…for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.”

— Philippians 3:13-14 (NIV)

Lord Jesus, help us to forget the past with its hurts and disappointments. Don’t let them imprison us. Set us free to become all You have called us to be. In Your holy name we pray. Amen.
