Our past may explain why we're suffering but we must not use it as an excuse to stay in bondage.
Our past experiences may have made us the way we are, but we don't have to stay that way.
No matter what has happened to you in the past or what is going on in your life right now, it has no power to keep you from having an amazingly good future if you will walk by faith in God. God loves you! He wants you to live with victory over sin so you can possess His promises for your life today!
Do yourself a favor and forgive anyone that has anything against you. Do it as an act of faith and trust God to change and heal your emotions. Pray for your enemies and never say another unkind thing about them. It is the only way you can move past the pain and begin to heal.
Grace keeps us from worrying because worry deals with the past, while grace deals with the present and future.
It is not as important how we start (our past), but how we finish.
It is amazing the quality of human beings that are in this world if we can just get past people not dressing the way we want them to dress.
Too often we spend our time in the past or the future. We need to learn to live now - mentally as well as physically and spiritually.
Sometime we get so addicted to murmuring about the past and blaming the past for everything that we miss our whole future. You're not going to enjoy your future, and you're not going to enjoy your right now, if all you can do is be guilty and ashamed and afraid of your past.
I learned that what happened to me did not have to define who I was. My past could not control my future unless I allowed it to.
I can't do anything about my past, but I can do a lot to cooperate with my destiny. I am re-created in Christ Jesus, born anew, that I might do the good works that he laid out for me and live the good life.
I believe a lot of people that are gay, had even had problems like I had in the past. I think they've been hurt by somebody from the opposite sex, and they don't know how to function right in those relationships.
When an injustice happens, we want to be vindicated. People feel that if they forgive the person who hurt them, then they will continue to take advantage of them or not take responsibility for what they did wrong. If we're honest, we'll admit that we usually want the person who hurt us to pay for what they did. We can't get past this until we get the revelation that only God can pay us back. He is our Vindicator - He will heal and restore us if we will trust Him and forgive our enemies as He has told us to do.
You can get over a broken past if you decide to believe that there's nothing in your past that can keep you from having a great future.
