What limits you? |
What if you had a magic wand?
I don't know anyone who doesn't have some frustrations or bad memories from their childhood. In our culture, we tend to spend a lot of time thinking about the past
and how we have been affected by it.
and how we have been affected by it.
Because you would forget your misery, And remember it as waters that have passed away.
Job 11:16
Job 11:16
There is no doubt that our histories have affected us.
What if your past didn't hinder your present?
What if all those 'things', those 'what if's', the 'would of, could of's, should of's' just didn't exist? Who would you be?
Imagine it for a minute- or an hour.

Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me.
Psalm 51:10
Psalm 51:10
Take a piece of paper and write down all the things you have wanted to do or thought you could have done. Don't think about why you didn't do them or achieve them, just write down all the possibilities.
Now imagine a world that allows you to do those things.
Make that your world.
Don't let the past limit your present.
Give yourself the gift of today and create the life you want now!

Let's Pray.
Dear Heavenly Father,
Thank you for being here with me now. It's so hard when I think of the pain and frustration from my past. I'm so weary from carrying that baggage with me now, Lord. Please help me accept that I cannot change the past, but with your help, I can change my future. Please guide me as I look forward to new possibilities in my life.
Thank you for always being with me.
Amen.
