Don’t let your past destroy your present; it is so easy to do.  Our failures can loom so large that they can paralyze our actions, if we let them.  Sometimes it is the shame of the past that defeats us; at other times it is regret over poor decisions.  We mourn lost opportunities; we grieve what someone did that changed the course of our own lives.  Few folks have enjoyed one success after another.  Most have had to overcome failures of one kind or another.  Today is the day to put it all behind you and move step by step to where your Lord is leading you and desiring you to go.  Follow!

“For He rescued us from the domain of darkness, and transferred us to the kingdom of His beloved Son, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.”  (Colossians 1:13-14 NASB)
