Forgive. Let it Go. Move on.

Often times, we look at the things we cannot change and get caught up on it. We say things like, "Oh, if I could go back, I would do it this way", or we say, "I wish I could have done this or that in my childhood". Past memories can not be changed. They can only be replayed or relived in your mind. If they are unpleasant memories, it is not wise to constantly replay them in your mind.
God says in Romans 12:2
2 Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.

Renew your mind DAILY and allow God to carry the burdens of your past pain.

 Forgive. Let it go. Move on.

Do not allow your past to predict your future. Don't say something like, "well, my daddy used to beat my momma, and statistics show that battered women witnessed abuse from their dads, so I'm probably gonna marry an abusive man"...

NO!!!!!! NEVER SAY ANYTHING LIKE THAT!

It doesn't matter how you saw life as you grew up as a child. It doesn't matter if you are a part of every negative statistic in the world. You can overcome. It doesn't matter if you were raised in a single parent home, or if your dad left you, you do not have to accept that same future for yourself. Speak positive things over your life. If you have experienced some negative things, have faith, believe, decree and declare that your LATTER will be GREATER than your past!

Job 8:7 (NKJV)
Though your beginning was small,Yet your latter end would increase abundantly.

Your words have POWER, whether you realize it or not. Remember, "The tongue has the power of life and death, and those who love it will eat its fruit." (Proverbs 18:21NIV). You can speak LIFE or DEATH. It is up to you. You can accept the negativity from your past, forgive, let it go and move on, OR you can constantly be held captive of it...the choice is yours!

No need in living in mental captivity for Christ has made you free.
John 8:36 KJV
If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.

Tomorrow is not even promised, so make a conscious effort to live EVERY day like it's your last. Don't mess up your FUTURE by bringing in your PAST, & don't even bring your PAST into your PRESENT. When you give your life to Christ, the slate is wiped clean. When you repent (ask God to forgive you for your sins, and turn from your sinful ways) He forgives EVERYTHING you did wrong in your past. If God isn't worried about it, why should you be? Don't beat yourself up about your past mistakes. There is redemption in our Father. There is nothing you could have EVER done that God will not forgive.

Forgive. Let it go. Move on.

It is God's job to bare your burdens, so let Him. Cast ALL your cares to Him. The Bible says in 1 Peter 5:7, "Give all your worries and cares to God, for he cares about you (NLT)".  In the same way that you would tell a friend about your problems, tell our Father in Heaven. You will feel much better. It is truly therapeutic to be able to go to God with every worry or issue that we have, AND it's FREE! When you take things to God, you don't have to worry about God gossiping and spreading your business! He's a safer outlet than any earthly confidant you could ever have.

It doesn't matter what you've done, He just wants it all. God wants you to realize that you need Him, willingly, before judgement day arrives and He says, "depart from me". Then it will be too late. He loves you and He just wants your life. Your willing statement of, "YES LORD". The closer you get to Him, the easier it will become to choose Him over your sinful fleshly desires. You have nothing to lose. Just relinquish your rights to the One that genuinely cares, loves, and will NEVER fail you! He is coming back, PERIOD. It's not a game, it's not a joke. God is coming back. The trump will sound and the dead in Christ WILL RISE.

Will you be ready?

If you are not ready, and want to get ready, give your life to Christ NOW! Don't wait.
 Romans 10:9 says,
If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. (NIV)

Repeat this prayer of Salvation:
Lord Jesus, Come into my life. I am a sinner and I want to be saved by your grace.I have done wrong in the past, and I want to make things right. Jesus, I believe that you are Lord. I believe that You are my Savior. I believe that You died for my sins and that You were raised from the dead. Please forgive me of my sins. Create in me a clean heart and renew your spirit within me. Help me to live everyday for you. Thank you Jesus for saving me! Amen.

Congratulations, you are now saved!!! Welcome to the best days of your life!!!!!! The Angels in Heaven are rejoicing because your soul has been saved!
