Not About the Past

A saying that I use all the time is Yesterday is gone, Tomorrow is not here, but God has given us a new day and that day is wrapped up in a present. He has given it to us and it is our choice to see it as that. We can see it is just another day, or a great opportunity for something new and it is in Gods way that we will find it.

Let go of the past and don't plan to far ahead, for we don't know what tomorrow holds, but we do know who holds tomorrow. We sometimes need to plan ahead, but trust God with those choices that you have planned out, but don't be full of worry and doubt, for then we are not trusting.

Thank God for today, thank Him for a new way and thank Him for giving you a chance to make the changes you need to make. Take today one step at a time, one moment at a time and be thankful in this moment. We don't know how long we have, only God does. Thank you Lord for this moment I get to write this and share what I have learned.

A song to go along with this life lesson.

There's a girl in the corner 
With tear stains on her eyes 
From the places she's wandered 
And the shame she can't hide 

She says, "How did I get here? 
I'm not who I once was. 
And I'm crippled by the fear 
That I've fallen too far to love" 

But don't you know who you are, 
What's been done for you? 
Yeah don't you know who you are? 

You are more than the choices that you've made, 
You are more than the sum of your past mistakes, 
You are more than the problems you create, 
You've been remade. 

Well she tries to believe it 
That she's been given new life 
But she can't shake the feeling 
That it's not true tonight 

She knows all the answers 
And she's rehearsed all the lines 
And so she'll try to do better 
But then she's too weak to try 

But don't you know who you are? 

You are more than the choices that you've made, 
You are more than the sum of your past mistakes, 
You are more than the problems you create, 
You've been remade. 

You are more than the choices that you've made, 
You are more than the sum of your past mistakes, 
You are more than the problems you create, 
You've been remade. 

'Cause this is not about what you've done, 
But what's been done for you. 
This is not about where you've been, 
But where your brokenness brings you to 

This is not about what you feel, 
But what He felt to forgive you, 
And what He felt to make you loved. 

You are more than the choices that you've made, 
You are more than the sum of your past mistakes, 
You are more than the problems you create, 
You've been remade. 

You are more than the choices that you've made, 
You are more than the sum of your past mistakes, 
You are more than the problems you create, 
You've been remade. 

You've been remade 
You've been remade. 
You've been remade. 
You've been remade.
