We can let our past destroy our present and our future. Those memories of some failure, sin, embarrassment, shame, hurt, loss, grief are very real. We feel that we can’t move ahead with dreams and plans. By this, we veto vision, miss our divine call, and short circuit our own God-given talents. Pastor Mark Grizzard said in a sermon, “You do not have to consult your past for God to determine your future”. He is right. God is not preoccupied with our past failures. He is interested only in what we can become by grace, and in spite of it all. He has committed the resource of His own Spirit to enable us to be all He wants us to be. Leave the past and your present excuses behind and move forward.
