"I don’t depend on my own strength to accomplish this; however I do have one compelling focus: I forget all of the past as I fasten my heart to the future instead."
Philippians 3:13
I had an image come to my mind the other day, maybe it was because I do tend to be clumsy! What God dropped in my heart was this:
When you trip.....you don't fall backwards. Most of the time, you will fall forwards.
Do you fall? Yes!
Can it hurt? Yes!
Will it leave a mark? Sometimes, Yes it can!
Can it make you stop for a moment? Yes!
Do you go backwards? No!
This applies to our spiritual life so much. The past happens, causing memories we wish to forget! No matter how hard we try though, they will creep up on us. They will trip us up! But when we trip, we don't have to go backwards. We can stay still, fixed in God’s presence. Seek God and allow Him to push you forward. There is never a need to go backwards. God will only push you forward!
