Looking Forward
Posted on Jan 10, 2008 under God' Plan |One thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.
Philippians 3:13-14
There is much to be learned from the past, no doubt. Once we learn that lesson, though, we need to walk away from the experience and not dwell on it. We need to move on.
In my own life I have been guilty of getting stuck on a mistake or sin, being unable to move on. I beat myself up over it and regret my wrong choice. I forget that God has forgiven me and that I need to forgive myself. By forgiving myself, I can look ahead and continue on the path toward my goal of a life in God’s kingdom.
I’m going to make an extra effort to forgive myself and to start each day anew, working toward my goal.
