The Healing Of Memory

This one thing I do, forgetting.
Philippians 3:13

Are you struggling to forget what was done to you - or by you? Here's some good news. Contained in every promise God makes to you, is the power to fulfil it. Paul chose to forget - and you can too! Read the following promises and personalise them:

"Fear not Francesca...do not feel humiliated, for you will not be disgraced; but you will forget the shame of your youth, and the reproach...you will remember no more" ( Isaiah 54:4 ).

"Do not call to mind the former things, or ponder the things of the past. Behold, I will do something new, now it will spring forth; will you not be aware of it? [God has something new in mind for you - don't miss it]. I will even make aroadway in the wilderness [and] rivers in the desert" ( Isaiah 43:18-19).

"The former things shall not be remembered or come into mind Francesca...be glad and rejoice forever in that which I create" ( Isaiah 65:17-18 ).

Notice the word 'create'. God can bring order out of your chaos and beauty out of your ashes. Will the healing of your memories be instantor easy? No. You'll do a lot of growing and a lot of stretching and alot of forgiving in the process.

"But aren't all those promises from the Old Testament?"

Yes, but listen:"He always does exactly what He says. He carries out and fulfils all of God's promises, no matter how many of them there are"
( 2 Corinthians1:19-20 ).

Today God stands ready to heal you. His grace is greater than your past. So, come to Him!
