What Can Be Done About Our Past?

The Bible Says that God is the same yesterday, today, and forever more. It also means that His Word is the same as He is. This means that the Word you read today is able to heal your yesterday. One of the most difficult healings is our past. Our closets are full of past hurts, mistakes, unforgiveness, etc.

What can be done about our past? It depends on our past. ! John 1: 9 says, "If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us of our sins." If you have bitterness towards someone, connect with them, forgive, confess your bitterness, and ask God for healing. If you've done something in your past that you are having a hard time forgiving yourself for, rest assured that God's forgiveness takes care of it. Accept that and move on. I know it's hard for us to forget but with God's forgiveness comes assurance that we can move on in our life.

God's Word today works for healing on yesterday's hurts. As the song says, "Trust and obey, for there's no other way to be happy in Jesus than to trust and obey."

'Til the storm passes,

Pastor Gary
