Past is Past (1-21-11)

Good morning and happy Friday. The past is the past. We already know it shaped us. But there are some things that need to be fixed. By that I mean there are some ideas and habits and junk we need to let go of. We keep dragging our past with us. We haven't forgiven hurts inflicted by people. We haven't asked for our own forgiveness of the ones we've wronged. We are changed. We're different than what we once were. But these changes can't be just on the outside. They have to come from within. The spirit of God dwells within. That's where our realization of a need to be different comes from. When He moves us, those things we wished we could change in the past become irrelevant. From this moment on, draw on past experience but be receptive to what God needs from you today. Live now, live today for Him. In love always.
