So often, we focus on our past. When we have an argument with someone, many times we bring up the things that person has done wrong in the past. Jesus said to forget them. When He plants His Forgiveness and Love in someone’s heart, he or she is a new person.
We need to stop dwelling on our past and start living for each new day. We can’t change what we have done wrong in the past. We can’t take back all the cruel, hateful, and sarcastic words we have said to someone. However, we can ask Jesus to help us be the person He wants us to be.
I spent many years wandering in the wilderness of despair, heartache, and tears. One day, Jesus reached His Nail Scarred Hand down to me and lifted me up and I have never been the same. I can honestly tell you that each day is filled with Joy, Peace, Happiness, and Contentment. I still have problems just like you do, but I have found the Joy of Living, my Wonderful, Beautiful Saviour, Jesus!
Are you still bringing up the past when you have an argument with someone? Are you dwelling on your past mistakes and failures? Forget about them and concentrate on today, and on making Jesus happy.
