Our past can sometimes be shackles. And even when you’re not trying to remember or hold on to it, there are just some people who constantly try to keep your past in your face. In fact, your very close friends or relatives will use your past as a rope around your neck. There are those who, no matter how you’ve tried to forget, have made it their life’s duty to remind you. And then there is you, even when everyone else has forgotten and moved on, you’re still left with the memory, the hurt, the shame, the wrong that you couldn’t make right.
Today, I just want to remind some, and inform others, that there is a way to free yourselves from the shackles of your pasts, and I guarantee that it’s the only way that matters.

He is the kind of person that will erase your past and establish a bright future. He’s known to have reinstated the reputations of prostitutes, thieves, womanizers, hypocrites, hot tempered, and ill-mannered people.
In the one hundred and three division of the Psalms, the psalmist says; as far as the east is from the west, so far has He removed our transgressions from us. For He knows how we are formed, He remembers that we are dust. The wind blows over it and it is gone, and its place remembers it no more.
Imagine that huhn? The east and west never meet; no matter how far you travel east, you will never reach a point at which your next step must be westward. Therefore, God in His wisdom did not say, “As far as north is from south”- points which have north and south poles; rather, He said, “As far as east is from the west.”
The idea is that, when God forgives, He really forgives. Our sins have been removed from us as far as is possible to imagine. It is a statement of complete and utter forgiveness. Once our sins have been removed, we will never be held accountable for them. They will never come back to haunt us.
If Jesus forgives and forgets, then who are they to hold it against you? You must get to that place where you let go and dive into the sea of forgiveness, and only then will you wash your conscience from the burden of your past. And there is nothing anyone can say or do to make you feel less than the heir Christ has made you.
So walk with your shoulders back and your head held high and forget about where you’ve been, what you’ve done, and who you used to be. God doesn’t care about your failures, mistakes, or even your mishaps. God is focused on where you’re going, what you’re going to do, and who you’re becoming through Him.
Smile, with Jesus’ help, you’re past has no control over you.

Praise God!this is a thought for the day.weeks, months and years ahead. This is mighty powerful!! Jesus Messiah, name above all names will cast our sins in the Sea of forgetfulness if we ask of Him. Thank God for His forgiven Spirit. I’m a new Creation and a brand new man I don’t need to be dragging my past with me . Neither do I need anyone to remind me about what I did yesterday. I gave it all to Jesus and now I am free like a bird in a tree. Thank you Jesus for Grace and mercy.
Yes, Sis Emile. Giving Him is just enough for me.
Thank God for Jesus because of his shed blood on Calvary’s cross my pass have no control over me it really doesn’t matter what others might think about my mistakes past or present Jesus says he will cast them into the depths of the sea and Remembers them no more
Colossians 3 : 13 says

So let us also as Children of God develop in us to forgive and forget may God help us all
Phil 4 : 13
I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me
Let us Love one another it is vital to do so Love cover’s all
Let our speech be always with grace
Collisions 4 : 6
Isn’t it reassuring to know that once we truly confess our sins, wherever He casts our them, it’s a place of forgetfulness; He will not hold them against us anymore? What a merciful and forgiving God. Thanks for the reminder Mother Wil-that we should practice what Christ does for us; forgive and forget.
