Moving Forward

I can listen to the few around me that say, you have to embrace your past to see who you are, because that just makes you, you. You have to except the things that you can't change and just love them.

The bible says something different, it says the old ways have passed away and we are made new in Jesus Christ. We can hold onto the past, or we can hold onto Jesus. We let the past go, we let our troubles that we had go and we hold onto our salvation. We hold onto that what God has given us and that is freedom from the way we use to be.

Have you ever noticed if you focus on something, it grows and grows and soon it seems to big to beat? I have and I have been lost in the man I once was and Jesus says that I am free from that. That the more I focus on Him, the less I focus on the problems I have, the less I focus on my past. 

Isn't it time we change our focus, we change our perspective? Well, it is time that I continue to do that. Don't say Geoff it is to hard, because it isn't. It is a moment by moment choice. What will your choice be? I am letting go of the past that anchors me to the negative and I am making a choice each moment to focus on what God has for me.

Have a wonderful Thursday and it is your choice. What choice will you make today?
