We all have a past. We have hurts. We have pain. We have joyful memories and relationships. We have experiences from which we have learned valuable lessons. Pastor Doug encourages us from the Book of Philippians that our past can offer both positive and negative feelings, but because of Christ and the glorious promise He has offered we choose to lean forward to the prize that lies ahead. We choose not to dwell in the past, because our promise lies ahead. So we choose to forgive, we choose to accept Christ's healing, we choose to repent from sin, we choose to learn from our past, and we choose to strive ahead to what Christ is calling us.
