The past may not be such a bad thing after all, when we change our perspective of it.
God molds us and shapes us through our experiences, even the negative ones he can turn around and make into something beautiful.
Here are some other benefits from the past:
1 We learn wisdom from our experiences
2 We grow in compassion, because we can empathise when others are walking through
3 We learn to depend on God for everything. When we walk through painful disappointments we prove God as healer, deliverer and the restorer of our soul. When we look back at some of those situations that we came out of ( almost breathless) we realize "Wow, the fire did not burn us, the water did not drown us, only this real and living God, could have taken us through those situations. We learn to trust him and our faith is built". He may not come through when we want, but he always comes through just in time. Thanks be to God.
4 We gain strength, when we walk through situations eg. The death of a loved one. Usually (unless we have an unhealed wound) it becomes easier to walk through another similar experience.
God has some great things ahead....garner from the past, look back and learn, but focus ahead.
Amen
Walk Good in Christ
Till we meet again
