Remember ye not the former things, neither consider the things of old. Behold, I will do a new thing.Isaiah 43:18-19When Eve awoke on planet earth she was already a wife! Imagine waking up beside a man when you’ve never seen one before. It was the ultimate sink-or-swim situation. She was created without a childhood. She never got to grow up. She stepped right into being a wife, then a mother. Did that happen to you?
A lot of us find ourselves having to be parents before we’ve had a chance to be children, or to know what it means to be innocent, to trust, to receive genuine love. If that’s your story, God has a word for you, “Remember not the former things, neither consider the things of old. Behold, I will do a new thing.”
Refuse to blame your past for your present, or let it ruin your future. You can’t go back and make things different. You’re not the person now you were then, and you’re never going to be. You can’t re-live your first marriage, or your early childhood. Accept it, dismiss what used to be, and move on!
Often we hold on to our past because there’s something there we think we still need. We cling to things because we fear we’ll never be able to replace them!
Don’t you know that God has more for you? If you’re trusting Him for your future, then you haven’t seen your best days yet. There’s more ahead of you than behind you. So get up, get over it and move on!
