Does the Past get in the way of your Future…

This morning in my daily meditation, I read a passage from the book of Philippians
that spoke clearly to me about my journey….and relates to each of our walks in life.
It says:

“Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead,
I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me to do…
All of us who are mature should take such a view of things. And if on some point
you think differently, that too will be made clear to you. Only let us live up to
what we have already attained. ”

We so often reminisce about our past...the special events and the not-so-special times.
It is important for us to remember the past and to learn from our experiences, but not to
allow it stand in the way of pressing on with our future.

Holding on to troublesome memories does not serve us in our present or for our future.
Thankfully all of our memories can benefit us in the lessons learned from our experiences.
Cherish those experiences for the light they bring to the present and the
hope they provide for our future.

In Gratitude…
