In Philippians, the Bible says, “This one thing I do: forgetting those things which are behind, I press forward, toward the mark of the prize of the high calling in Christ Jesus.
Past accomplishments are nice, but they can’t be rested upon, they must be let go and new goals must be sought. Past failures are unfortunate, but they must not dictate our future. We must repent where we need to repent, place our eyes on Jesus and move toward a new goal. Past hurts are real and painful, but we cannot dwell on them. We must clear our hearts, put what’s out of our hands in the Lord’s hands, and press on. Someone rightly said, “Holding unforgiveness in your heart is like taking poison and hoping someone else will die!”
