Release the Past
Past, Present and Future…time is composed of these three intervals. The future is promised to no man or woman. The best one could ever do is to be mindful of a potential future and plan for it accordingly.
Your past may be scarred with bad decisions or experiences that are difficult to forget. However, in order to lead a simple life with control over your stress levels, you must be willing to release your past.
Every human being has been given the gift of the “present.” The words gift and present are used interchangeably when giving something to another in celebration of an event or as a thank you. I believe that this is no coincidence and that it is God’s will for us to view our present time as a gift. The present is the only element of time you have control of. You decide what you are going to do at the very moment you are existing.
Instead of wasting time reliving your past and grieving our past regrets, why not ask God for forgiveness? Why not make things right with someone you have strife with (if you can)? Why not release painful memories to the Lord Jesus?
Whatever it is that causing you to live in the past, if you release your past and give it to God, you will find that is easier to focus on the “present” which will help you birth a brighter future.
Make a quality decision to say no to stress and all the baggage that comes along with it (frustration, lack of productivity etc.). Release the Past…for your sake.
