Your past is your past and there is nothing you can do to change it. It’s just a fact of this life.
You have choices though when it comes to your past. Some people long for times when their life was easier. Some wish they would have done things that they never did. While others have had things happen to them they wish hadn’t.
Whatever your relationship with your past is, you have to make the choice to not let it control you or define who you are.
No matter how easy or difficult your life has been, you are here now and everything has led up to this time in your life. You can be saddened by seasons and events in your life, but you have to allow God to help you work through the scars it has all caused you.
Nothing about your life has taken God by surprise. Everyone has free will. He made us that way. Unfortunately, this means people use their freedom of choice for bad instead of good. If you have been hurt in any way, today is the day to pray and ask God to help you forgive them.
Without forgiveness, it will be impossible to move on and not let the past affect you all the way into your future.
If you have regrets, I encourage you to let them go, too. The past cannot be changed and there is no time like the present to start changing your future.
What is holding on to you from the past, hindering you from moving forward?
