No longer looking back

I don't think I see or understand the full impact right now. I believe any time I undertake a bible study and read God's word there is an everlasting change in my spirit, mind and soul.

The peace God has given me over the past few weeks is beyond explanation. I have also been involved in another Bible study "Believing God" (Beth Moore) that I just finished and between these two I know God has started a new chapter in my life.

I believe God has told me to stop looking back and wondering why I went through those experiences or how those things in my past will be used to glorify Him. Instead I now know I am not that person any more, I am a new creation in Christ Jesus and those past actions have no control of me. I realize God has placed His Spirit in me and I believe I am His daughter and He is calling me to live like it with His power, strength, hope and joy.

I will never allow myself to be identified by the sins of the past because they were taken by Jesus and are no more. I will not consider myself a victim or feel sorry for myself any longer. I now live according to what God has in front of me and focusing on how to walk with Him forward (not backward). I leave it up to God if He wants to use anything from the past to glorify Him, but it is not my concern or job to try to make it glorify Him. I am so excited to find out each day what God has before me, not behind! THANK YOU MY LORD JESUS CHRIST
