The past should be the past. It can destroy the future. Live life for what tomorrow has to offer, not for what yesterday has taken away.
Great advice, as often we can find ourselves fretting over things that have been said or done (or not said and done), when what we really should be doing is moving on.
I’m not saying that we should forget about things that happen in our past, no, I’m simply saying we should not let ourselves carry the burden of past problems with us, when we should learn from today, leave our burdens at the foot of the cross and live for what tomorrow will bring.
God will watch over every one of us. He alone knows exactly how we feel, and why we are holding onto our burdens, but he can give us the reassurance and peace that we need to allow us to leave our burdens at His feet, we just need to trust God.
