Do you have something from your past that you can’t seem to get victory over?  Maybe it’s a bad decision that was made you would like to “do-over”.  I think we all have something that we regret.  For some it easier to move on than others.  The rest end up living in despair over past decisions or failures.

I recently talked with someone who was having difficulty overcoming something from their past.  This thing was hindering current relationships.  There was a tremendous amount of despair over this past failure.  I know from personal experience how difficult it can be to let the past go.  I also know the freedom that comes when true forgiveness has taken place. 

Wherever you may find yourself in dealing with your past – God’s grace - given to us through the life of Jesus  – is more giving than we often-times want to accept or believe.  Hear the words of Oswald Chambers from My Utmost for His Highest.

But Jesus comes and lovingly says to us, in essence, “Sleep on now. That opportunity is lost forever and you can’t change that. But get up, and let’s go on to the next thing.” In other words, let the past sleep, but let it sleep in the sweet embrace of Christ, and let us go on into the invincible future with Him. (February 18).
