Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See that I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up! (Isaiah 43:18-19)
During our life, things happen which deeply affect us: achievements and attainments, hurts and disappointments, births, deaths or marriages. Whether it’s positive or negative experiences, it’s how we cope with these experiences that mould our lives and the make us who we ultimately become.
God tells us to move on from our past experiences and let Him show us the way forward, our future. That doesn’t mean we forget our past, because it will always be part of who we are, it just means we learn from those experiences and let God help us to use them to make us more like Him.
