JOURNEY ~ Moving Forward! Each of us have experiences that gives two types of mindsets. One is to attempt at forgetting that which appears to have hurt us in some way. Another is feel joy in our being when reminded of a particular event or ...situation. Well I believe that both have the ability to impact our lives in a positive way, if we allow it. That which we desire to forget is full of lessons that we need to move forward and accomplish the new blessings in our lives. Without those lessons me may visit those same type of events or situations over and over again in our future. The pains of our lives do not exist to simply make our hearts and souls hurt, they exist because there is purpose behind each one. Purpose we may not be aware of at the moment, but in trying to forget those things keeps us from ever seeing what the purpose was. By no means am I suggesting that we dwell on the past, what I am suggesting is that we learn from the past. And allow it to propel us to a better future rather then keeping us hostage in something we cannot change. Then we may be able to feel more joy in our lives than we ever have before!
Philippians 3:13-16 The Message (MSG)
Focused on the Goal
12-14 I’m not saying that I have this all together, that I have it made. But I am well on my way, reaching out for Christ, who has so wondrously reached out for me. Friends, don’t get me wrong: By no means do I count myself an expert in all of this, but I’ve got my eye on the goal, where God is beckoning us onward—to Jesus. I’m off and running, and I’m not turning back.
15-16 So let’s keep focused on that goal, those of us who want everything God has for us. If any of you have something else in mind, something less than total commitment, God will clear your blurred vision—you’ll see it yet! Now that we’re on the right track, let’s stay on it.
