The Past Doesn't Matter!
By: Kaitlyn F.
Let’s be real for a second. We have all done
something in the past that we want to go back and change. It might be a really
embarrassing moment, or we did something that hurt a friend of a family member.
We all have those moments in our past, and I bet that as you are reading this,
you are sitting there thinking of every incident from your past. For me, I have
the incident when a bully made fun of me in first grade, my addiction to
pornography in 6th grade, me breaking my brother’s
teeth, and so much more. But guess what,
The Past Doesn’t
Matter!!!!!!!
That might surprise some people but it is true. It
especially doesn’t matter when it comes to the God’s ability to
work in your life. My porn addiction didn’t interfere with God from giving me my
blog, “The Kaitlyn Show”, and it didn’t stop him for
giving me an opportunity for me to help write on this blog. My bully in 1st
grade didn’t stop God from showing me how courageous and strong I am on
the inside. My breaking of my brother’s teeth didn’t prohibit God
from making our bond stronger.
God can handle anything you did in the past. The thing is
the past doesn’t define you in God’s eyes. We are ALL new creations when we
accept Jesus, and that is what God choses to see. 2 Corinthians 5:17 says, “Therefore,
if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is
here!” It is good to review you past to learn from your mistakes,
but you past don’t define you. You are a new creation in God, and he has the
ability to do anything in your life, no matter how screwed up your past might
have been. When you give your past to the Lord, then he can work wonders in you
life. You just have to believe that your past is your past, and that God has
something way better waiting for you in the future.
