Our past may explain why we're suffering but we must not use it as an excuse to stay in bondage.
Don't give in to excuses that can keep you from really living the best life God has for you.
Commit to stop making excuses. When we make excuses, we lie to ourselves and continue bad habits.
We clearly see in God's Word that anything He tells us to do, He will give us the ability to do it. But do we really believe it? Do we want to believe it? It's easier to come up with excuses for why we can't do things that are hard or that we really don't want to do.
We have to get rid of excuses, no matter why you are the way you are, don't let it be an excuse to stay that way.
If you're holding on to an offense, then you haven't forgiven the person who hurt you. Unforgiveness finds excuses to talk about what people have done to us, and we'll tell anyone who will listen. There's a difference between sharing your testimony to help someone and talking about what's been done to you because you are angry about it.
As a global society, we do not have to agree, endorse or condone the lifestyle choices of others. However, history has taught us that we equally cannot and should not excuse those who would hide behind religion or misuse God's word to justify bigotry and persecution.
