TODAY'S SCRIPTURE
"Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past" (Isaiah 43:18, NIV).
TODAY'S WORD , every person, no matter how much faith they have or how good a person they are will face disappointments. It may be something simple like not getting that promotion you really hoped for, or not closing that big deal you worked so hard on. Maybe you didn´t qualify for a house you really wanted. Or, it may be something more serious like a relationship not working out, the death of a loved one, or some kind of illness in your body. Whatever it may be, the reality is that we´re all going to suffer some setbacks. But I believe one of the main keys to overcoming disappointments is learning to let go of the past. The past weighs you down and holds you back. If you feel "stuck" today, you may want to examine what you´re holding on to. Be willing let go of the past by choosing forgiveness. Who hurt you? Who wronged you? Release it to God. Do you need to forgive yourself? Do you need to receive God´s forgiveness? Make the choice today to let go of the past so that you can experience the bright future God has in store for you! A PRAYER FOR YOU TODAY Heavenly Father, search my heart and mind today. Show me any area where I may be holding on to the past. Help me to receive Your forgiveness so that I can extend forgiveness to others and move forward in the wonderful plan You have for me. In Jesus´ Name. Amen. |
