Lk 9:62 “And
Jesus said, No man, having put his hand to the plough, and looking back, is fit
for the kingdom of God.”
No man will ever get to where God wants them by focusing on
where they’ve been. Let go of the past and the past will let go of you. It’s
like being locked in a cell and yet you’re holding the key. “Know that every
saint has their past, and every sinner has their future.” Trust that God can
bring peace to your past, purpose to your present and hope to your future (Jn
14:27). All we must do is trust the past to His mercy, the present to His love
and the future to His providence. The only thing helpful about the PAST,
is knowing in the PRESENT I don’t want a FUTURE without God controlling
it. And the only purpose of the past is to give you a story that allows you to
introduce Jesus to others, not for you to live in it. Paul never would’ve found
his success in Jesus if he remained focused on Stephen (Acts 7:58-59). Don’t
let your past be a prison, live the present in God’s promises and allow your future
to be guided by faith. Make your past a place of reference, not a place of
residence.
You have purpose far beyond your past, don’t spend the
present plowing it back up!
