PAST Holding on to pain is self abuse. Your past has given you the strength and wisdom you have today, so celebrate it; Don’t let it haunt you. Replaying a painful memory over and over in your head is a form of self abuse, toxic thoughts create a toxic life. Make peace with yourself and your past. Stop focusing on old problems and things you don’t want in your future. The more you think about them, the more you attract what you fear into your everyday experiences and you become your own worst enemy. Don’t live in the past, thinking about mistakes or changes you made. Think of your life as a book, move forward, close one chapter and open another. Learn from your mistakes, but focus on your future, not on your past. If we do learn from history, we would not just highlight what went wrong in the past but avoid repeating the same thing in another format. Your past does not determine who you are nor your history as your destiny, instead it prepares you for who you are capable of becoming. What ultimately defines you is how well you rise after falling. There is nothing we can do to change the mistakes of our past, but we sure can give it way more authority than it ought to have. We can let it have more control over us than it needs to and can remain bonded to our sin even while the Lord has forgiven us. So often the truth evades us that while we continue living in a cage, the doors have been opened. All we need to do is walk out and embrace our freedom. Once you have received forgiveness from the Lord, it’s time to forgive yourself! This is the aspect where a lot of women find the greatest point of struggle, I also found it difficult till the Lord helped me and I became a better person, you too can do it if youre determined. It can take years (which isnt good enough), but once a woman forgives herself the process is much easier, this is also applicable to men. Invite the Lord to cleanse your mind and release His thoughts over you in place of those memories. In relationship; if you dont heal, please dont start another relationship; healing before love is so CRUCIAL because if you carry bricks from your past relationship(s) to the new one, you will end up building the same house! Before you start a new relationship with someone else, make sure youre completely over your ex and your relationship with yourself and God are where it should be. Remember; Spiritual rebirth doesnt destroy the past, it transforms it. A second chance spiritually means there are no limitations to what you can become. THE GOD WHO MADE THE UNIVERSE OUT OF NOTHING CAN TAKE YOUR PAST AND MAKE FROM IT SOMETHING BEAUTIFUL FOR THE UNIVERSE. Confession: Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. (2Cor.5:17). I am a new creature Prayer: Help me to let go of my past and live my life for you oh Lord committing my future into your hands to help me through. Shalom Oluwatoyin Adebowale KEY ©2014
