TOTD, Jan 09

Relinquish Your Past

Everyone has their own past. Some of them of course : good ones-sweet memories, but some of them were moments where we could feel pain, bitter, or anger.
When we talk about relinquish (read: let go) of our past, most likely we're talking about the bad ones, the ones that influenced us so much that affect our present behavior.

No one has a perfect past. Lots of us had a not-so-sweet childhood, living with a single parent or being an unwanted child but managed to escape from abortion and survived.
And many other reasons.
But the past has already been over. The most important thing right now is today and we believe that God has already prepared a beautiful future for each of us.

Let go of the past. That's when we can move on and move forward in this life. (-fon-)

Forgetting what is behind and straining forward to what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.
--- Philippians 3:13-14
