I think it's safe to say that my life here is going the way it should be. Though at times it's not by my liking or even by my say so. Never the less I'm truly thankful to survive into the next day whether the morning is bright or not. I could go on and on about what goes wrong and what seems to drag me down in everyday, but I'm sure that wouldn't benefit either of us.
There's this person I've gotten to know recently; a good friend with a giving heart. He decided to follow Christ and strive for a more righteous life and I commend him for that. But he still remembers his old self. Every now and then he would say "I remember when..." followed by "but not anymore".
Without a doubt you cannot erase what is the past. Somehow the past lingers inside the back of our mind reminding of what was. Many are great memories of wonderful times. Others, not so good. For me, I have a vast collection of both. In fact the very first memory ever of my life was a haunting one. So what to do if you can't forget the junk from the day before, or the scars from years long gone? I think a part of that answer lies in tomorrow. Many analogies could be said but I'll say a verse instead
"Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone the new has come!" Corinthians 5:16-18
Love from the Savior is the true remedy for healing a broken spirit, a quiet pain. Strength from only myself is not enough. My failures and weaknesses keep me grounded and remind me that I'm real not perfect, but I can't be blinded by them, and I'm only fighting me, everyday. But I continue to believe that God is greater, God is stronger and God is higher than any other. And so because of that I know what has been cannot be greater than what is to come.
