OUR PAIN AND OUR PAST
The brain can't forget. The question is not whether or not we forget, but what to do with what we remember. Learn how to carry your memories. Your past isn't your past if it is affecting your present. The Apostle Paul says in Philippians 3:13-14, "No, dear brothers and sisters, I have not achieved it, but I focus on this one thing: Forgetting the past and looking forward to what lies ahead, I press on to reach the end of the race and receive the heavenly prize for which God, through Christ Jesus, is calling us" (New Living Translation). Don't live or dwell in the past. Live for Jesus and focus on His plan for your life. He wants you to have life more abundantly and not be adversely affected by the pain of your past. Keep your eyes on Jesus, knowing there is a reward at the end of the race.
