In life, many things hold us back. We allow this to happen due to negative feelings and the remembrance of past trauma in our lives. The Bible teaches us here in Philippians 3:13-14 that we are to forget about those things and move forward in the things of Christ. The word even tells us that we have to "reach". Reaching takes effort! As we waddle in our deep depressions and focus on harm done to us OR harm that we have done to others, we waste energy; energy that should be used to help us to reach forward, to stretch out faith and grasp what God has for us.
We have all gone through pains and disappointments but what separates us is the how...how do we deal with it. Do we allow it to become out stumbling block or our stepping stone. The word of God says that tests and trials come to make us strong but are we accepting the process?
God has great things in store for EVERY individual that He created; he is not a respecter of persons. We MUST trust Him and trust the process. He will take us from glory to glory, from faith to faith but we must not become stuck in the past. Every experience that we have is divinely designed to bring out the best of Christ is us...not to destroy us, that is the enemy's plan not Gods'.
Three words...FORGET ABOUT IT!
Make a commitment today to gather all that has held you back and give it over to the Lord. He will turn those situations around for His glory and for you edification....PRESS ON SOLIDERS!!!
