You can’t move past your past without God’s help. Apart from him, you will justify it, deny it, avoid it, or suppress it. But with God’s help you can move forward.
It’s time to do so. Let God speak over you the greatest of blessings: “Anyone who belongs to Christ has become a new person. The old life is gone; a new life has begun!” (2 Corinthians. 5:17 NLT).
You are no longer you. You are God’s child. And God fights for you. You no longer swagger in false strength; you move forward in God’s power. You need not fear your future. God has gone ahead of you. He has prepared the way and paved the path. God never gives up on you.
