Forgetting And Reaching

Every experience you've had from the moment you were born until now has made you what you are today. The things that happened to you, both good and bad, determine how you'll act and react for the rest of your life. Jesus said, "A good man gives out good from the goodness stored in his heart; a bad man gives out evil, from his store of evil" ( Matthew 12:35). There are things stored up in each of us that must be dealt with before we can move ahead successfully.

Understand this: the only place the past can live is in your memory. The only power it has over you is the power you give it. So the word for you today is: "Forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead."
