The Taunted Past. From the time you open your eyes in the morning to the time you lay down at night. To the grocery store, on your way to work, at the kitchen table this past is still dragging on your coat tail. You feel down all the time. You try to shake it off but its stuck there. Like A stain on your shirt. The Slightest thing triggers your memory to think about something that happened in the past. You cant seem to grasp hold of the future and what awaits for you there because somehow you found yourself stuck in time that has already taken place. You want to move forward but its just to complicated to think about how too. Truth be told , even though this past of yours make you sad, angry, depressed and distressed you still hold on because it comforts you. Because your use to this pain. You done held on to it for so long , you question yourself who will I be without it? Is this who I am? Does this define me? Your scared to let it go. your afraid to face tomorrow so you face yesterday instead. You are scared of failure again, Your are afraid of another heartbreak. You are scared of disappointment and you are ashamed to face future failures. So besides letting go you hold on to create excuses for yourself to be the way you are. You create excuses for yourself to be afraid, to be ashamed, to not love again, to not trust again, to not try again. I'm here to tell you my friend, that your missing out on so many blessings that's waiting for you. Your missing out on new opportunities that God has set aside for you to have. your missing out on that new job, that new relationship, that new position, that new raise, that new friend, that new door that waiting for you to open. Why be so afraid? Its waiting on YOU, Success is there waiting its just missing YOU. I know you are tired of holding on and everyone says "Oh just let it go" But no one knows how hard that can be to do so. When you wanted something so bad its hard to not still wish for that. Its important to lean on Gods understanding and not our own. If something is meant to be God will bring it to past in his own timing. That doesn't mean sit and wait..on the couch..with your head hung low..until "what you want" happens . God knows our deepest desires . and he also knows what is best for Us. Give your burdens and troubles to him. Psalm 55:22, reminds us to cast your cares on the LORD and he will sustain you; he will never let the righteous be shaken. He hears you every cry and he knows your deepest pain . Trust in him that he will never leave you of forsake you. He wants you to live A happy life. he wants you to be successful and he wants you to be full of joy . Whatever it is that is hindering you to be all the God has ordained you to be . Give it to Jesus. 2 Corinthians 5:17 Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creature; the old things passed away; behold, new things have come He tells you in his word that he has new things for you! He tells you in his word that the old has been cast away! So how can you hold to what God has already wiped clean? How can you hold on to what is making you unhappy? What makes you feel as if you don't deserve to be happy? Learn from your past not keep it in your pocket, You don't have to carry that with you anymore. Brighter days are ahead of you if you just throw that mess out to the fishes! You wouldn't even imagine how much lighter you feel. how much more happy you will feel. energetic you will be. Let it Go! And one day you will be able to help somebody else who is going down that same road you done been down. You cant help someone else if you cannot learn to let go of that pain. I know its hard. I know its different I understand it may make you uncomfortable but wouldn't it be all worth it for happiness? for peace? to wake up every morning with a smile on your face? YES! it will be . everything takes time. over time pain will heal. but the thing is what are you doing during 'the time?' and that's where a lot of people back track and find themselves back in the past again. Meditate On Gods word. read your bible every single day. pray , fast and pray and pray (=. Every answer we need is written in his word. Get active . Remain Busy. Embrace yourself and Love the process. Better days are coming for you.. If you just Let It Go.
