NO REAR-VIEW MIRRORS
Some of us spend our entire lives looking into a rearview mirror. We are always wanting to go back to the “might have been’s,” or live in the “I wish I hads”. By doing this we fail to see what God has right in front of us.
One thing is for certain, that if we look into the rear-view mirrors without looking ahead we will certainly crash. We cannot go back and live our lives over. We can learn from the past, but we must let go of it to press on to the next place that Christ has for us.
How sad to stand before God one day and have Him show us what we missed because we didn’t “let go” of the past.
My friends, God has something bigger and better for us than we can imagine. Yes, there are those people and ties to the past that pull us back. Perhaps it was a relationship with someone that was not a Christian and you just can’t let go. You will never, I say never become what God wants for you if you don’t let go.
Perhaps it is a loved one that died, and your heart is grieving and broken because you miss them so much. Don’t let this control your future. God has a new beginning for us each and every day.
Letting go is a choice! We must choose to forget those things that are behind us and move on into God’s destiny for us. You can’t make bread from yesterday’s yeast that never rose. Don’t waste your time looking into the rear-view mirror.
We must remember the advice that the Apostle Paul gave in Philippians 3:13b-14, “…But this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before. I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.”
It is time to let go and let God! Be blessed.
GOD BLESS YOU
