Walk 1440 for June 25th, 2008

What does your past say to you?
Each of us has done something in our past that was wrong…the problem?
There is one absolute truth about your past…your past cannot be changed
There are days in which our past seems to speak to the forefront of our mind…what does your past say to you?
"Remember, when you did this or that…you were wrong…you’re no good…you haven’t changed…you’ll never be good enough…you are worthless…no one can love you"
What happens to a person that listens to & believes the words of their past?
A person that believes their past relives their past believes their past relives their past…the cycle doesn’t end
…a person that believes the words of what their past says about them is doomed to repeat their past.
What if you stopped listening to the condemning words of your past & placed your ear on the tracks of the future hoping for the arrival of freedom from your past?
Are you willing to listen to your future?
Who is a God like You, who pardons iniquity; And passes over the rebellious act of the remnant of His possession? Micah 7:18
Isn’t that what we want…a pardon from our past…someone to pass over our rebellious wrong in our past?
We question the potential pardon because we know our past wrong would cause anger in God…we reason in our mind "how can He pardon me…won’t God only ever reject me because of my past?"
Do you realize that you’re judging God’s character by your past?
God’s character does not depend on your past; God’s character depends on one thing: love.
He does not retain His anger forever, Because He delights in unchanging love
Micah 7:18
God doesn’t delight in anger…God delights in love…a love that never changes.
Your past will never change…if you dwell on your past…your future will be determined by your past.
His love for you will never change…if you dwell on His love in spite of your past…your future will be determined by the love of God not your past.
Will you visit the haunts of your past today or will you change your present path to a new one leading to a love that will never change?
There are 1440 minutes in a day…WALK1440 seeking our God who delights in loving you.
