Release the Past

"...but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which ar behind, and reaching forward to what lies ahead, I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus."

(Philippians 3:13-14).

One of the main keys to overcoming disappointments in life is learning to let go of the past. You let go of the past by choosing to forgive those who have hurt or wronged you by believing that God will restore to you anything that was taken. When you receive Christ's forgiveness in your own life, you are released from the pressure to make up for past mistakes or failures. You begin to experience the bright future God has in store for you.

Don't let the regrets of yesterday destroy the hopes of tomorrow. No matter what has happened in the past, God is a God of restoration, and He will restore that the enemy has stolen from you.

Accept God's mercy and forgiveness today, and look forward to the wonderful plan he has for your future!

Prayer: Heavenly Father, thank You for the gift of forgiveness...the gift that releases me from the past and enables me to run towards You and the bright future You have in store for me. Show me if there are any areas of unforgiveness in my heart so that I may forgive and walk in victory!
