Put to death the past and plow ahead into the future.
The way to grow in the faith is to let past weights go. There may have been times you let the past pull you into a dark and regretful place. You feel guilt, shame and regret. You cringe at the thought of what
you did and it stunts your growth today.
Let those past weights go and don’t be brought into a dark place anymore. God has delivered you and is with you, working in your heart and reshaping your life. Be confident in Christ. He hasn’t wasted your past. He wants to use it as a beautiful testimony to help others navigate through the same things!
So don’t stay stuck in your past but use it for God’s glory. Put to death the feelings of shame, condemnation and guilt, and live instead in forgiveness. Now grab forgive- ness as a mantle of truth and forge ahead in the faith!
