Past, Present, Future

Tweet

Being in Christ, it is safe to forget the past; it is possible to be sure of the future; it is possible to be diligent in the present. ~~ Alexander MacLaren Sometimes, it's challenging to let go of the past. The hurt, pain, guilt and regret tends to attack long after the event has happened. C.S. Lewis wrote, “If God forgives us we must forgive ourselves," but I know from experience this may prove a very difficult goal to achieve. The wonderful news is that through Jesus Christ the extreme clutter is forgiven and forgotten. On the other end of the spectrum is the future--worry and anxiety can take moments away from our lives and that's just a waste of time and happiness. Jesus said, "Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to your life?" Actually living in the present without all the thoughts of the past or the future is wonderful, though one has to work earnestly to achieve this objective (for me anyway) or those wasted moments fade away into insignificant days. pixabay
