When God takes you back to your past!

“Preserve me, O God, for in You I put my trust.” Psalm 16:1

At times God uses a spiritual therapy of making you look at your past. This can cause sorrow and misgiving over what you missed out on living without God.

I myself have been filled with regret many times over how I blew it with God and did not allow His goodness to fill my life particularly in my early years. I have said to myself many times “If only I could relive this portion of my life” but you can only learn from your mistakes and go on with a new approach to life.

Don’t be fearful or shut out God when He wants you to explore your past. This might lead to asking God to forgive you and heal the feelings from the past.

You own all of your past both the good and the bad. It is an indication of how much you need God. Learn from your past!

How can God change your past into His glory? Jesus is the perfect example of the transfiguring power of God to show His radiant glory. This miracle can also happen to you.

The transfiguring quality of God will take the essence of everything in your life including your past, present, and future and mold you into a new creature in Christ Jesus. You will be transfigured and people will see the glory of God in you.

God purposes to use all things in your life to draw you to Him so let your past be a building block to walking with God.

You can’t open the closed doors from the past but God wants to show you new doors leading to His abundant life. Let God be God and have His way in your life. His methods are perfect!

Thought for the day: “I know you better than you know yourself. Your past will add to My glory because you will see Me for who I really am and you will have a greater desire for more of My life.”
