NO REAR-VIEW MIRRORS ALLOWED

Some of us spend our entire lives looking into a rearview mirror. We are always wanting to go back to the “might have been’s,” or live in the “I wish I hads.” By doing this we fail to see what God has right in front of us.

It is for certain that if we look into the rear-view mirrors without looking ahead, we will certainly crash. We cannot go back and live our lives over. We can learn from the past, but we must let go of it to press on to the next place that Christ has for us. How sad to stand before God one day, and have Him show us what we missed because we did not “let go” of the past.

My friends, God has something bigger and better for us than we can imagine. Yes, there are those people and ties to the past that pull us back. Perhaps it was a relationship with someone that was not a Christian and you just cannot let go.

You will never, I say never become what God wants for you if you do not let go. Perhaps it is a loved one that died, and your heart is grieving and broken because you miss them so much. Do not let this control your future.

God has a new beginning each and every day. Letting go is a choice! We have to choose to forget those things that are behind us and move on into God’s destiny for us.

You cannot make bread from yesterday’s yeast that never rose. Don’t live your life in a rear-view mirror.
