"Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it?" (Isaiah 43:18-19a).
Every ending has new beginnings. Every winter is followed by spring. Every night ends with a fresh and new morning. This is what God wants us to look forward to everyday.
It is said in the Scripture that we are new creations in Christ Jesus but how many times did we look back at our past and ending up not moving on from it? Do you feel the weight it puts on your shoulder? It is not bad to look back but dwelling on it that makes us miss on God's plan for us is another thing. God wants us to experience a fresh start. His plans, ways and thoughts are way higher than ours. As said in Jeremiah 29:11
"For I know the plans I have for you", declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."
See? He knows what His plans for us so why not just trust Him? Never will the Lord harm us. We may say that we feel pain here and there, that's because we're still fighting His plans. Leave our baggage behind [our past] that pulls us down and be ready for a fresh start. Remember, He is with us and will be with us and will not let anyone harm us. There is no one who can fulfill that kind of promise to us but God. Believe that God is willing and able and soon enough, we will find ourselves at the path He has promised us to be in, way before we were born. Forget our past and look forward for a fresh start and new beginning. Exciting it is!
