Let go of the pain of the past

There are things in life that hinder us from achieving goals, moving to new areas, taking chances in love or even having a fruitful and bless marriage, all because our past has grown destructive hindering roots within us. The past has also affected our present situations and has kept us hostages from reaching our future. Many of us can’t seem let go of the past in our own strength, we need God to help us, we must let Him shine His light on what we are holding onto and when it is revealed, we have to release that into His hands. Release the pain, the torment, the abuse, the lies, the deceit, release it all to Him, so that peace can flood your soul. We do not need to be walking in the pain of the past but in the love of God, in the freedom of what Christ gave to all. There may be some reluctance to dealing with the past, the memories seem to be still fresh and the pain still hurts, but as you learn to let go with each step God’s light within get brighter and brighter.

 You see, when God reveals things to us it is for our benefit to finally let it all go, facing the past will free us from emotional pain, psychological issues, and physical distress. Forgiveness is the key to getting past the past, we must forgive all who have hurt us, we need to forgive ourselves for our part and we must ask God to forgive us and those who were the perpetrators. To get free of the pain we must face the truth, as hard as it may be. The Word says: “agree with thine adversary quickly, whiles thou art in the way with him… (Mt. 5:25)”. It is vital that we resolve as much as we can in the strength and power of God, make things right at this present time, for when we stand before God it will be too late.
