Don’t Hold Yourself Back

Just a brief though for you ladies this week. Now, we have all had plenty of moments when we make the decision to mover forward with something new. Like a new job, a new resolution, a new mind set so we can get better. We all strive for new goals. Big and small. But our pasts can hold us in place. Our past sins, I mean. But only if we let it. I’ve fallen victim to this many times. Replaying over and over again the sins that I just couldn’t move past and me holding onto the same lessons I couldn’t seem to get right over and over. It literally took me years for me to stop bringing up the guilt that followed the wrong. We have to realize, as I did, that we need to extend that grace and mercy God gives to our own selves. One of the tactics that the devil uses to keep us from fulfilling the purpose God has for us is by holding us in the same place. And that place that he keeps us can get comfortable. Making us think this is as good as its going to get. But that is far from the truth. We are constantly growing, constantly changing and that’s not a bad thing. So we shouldn’t bring up the past to holt our future plans. We should not hold ourselves back because once we confess our sins, God forgives us and never thinks about it again. Even the Bible tells us to not think of the past. (Isaiah 43:18 – “Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past.) We can be our own worst enemy. Do not hold yourself back by factors that are not relevant for your future. Stay sassy sexy and saved.
