The Past is the Past

Published on by arecordofgraces

The past is not a package one can lay away.

Emily Dickinson

“If only I knew then what I know now”. If only I could go back in time and redo this or that. Time is a good teacher, however, and regret can be a bully. The past should not be put on lay away in the mind and heart to pick up at a later date. I can view myself a failure over things I did wrong or I can see through to God telling the story of His faithfulness, forgiveness and fulfillment.

Romans 8:1, “There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.”

    1. I liked the visual from the quote about not putting the past on “lay away”. No need to go back to retrieve it. Christ already paid for that. We are free to move forward.
