It’s hard
to leave the past behind. In fact, it can be overwhelming and seemingly
impossible. Letting a relationship go even when we know it’s the right
decision. Letting go of a loved one to death or divorce, being let go from a
job we love. Life’s journeys can wear us down and out.
Can we get
to a peace in our relationship with Jesus where trust wins over fear and doubt?
Can we believe Jesus works through all of our drama and anxiety and loss and
letting go? Is there a hope and a future no matter the cost?
Jesus will
hold you up. He will comfort your broken heart and move you forward. He will
make the memories sweet. He will use your loss and your heartache
and your fear for His purposes. Your weakness will be His strength. Hold onto
the Savior through it all. He works it out. He moves us ahead. He gives us hope
for tomorrow.
Brothers
and sisters, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one
thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead.
Philippians 3:13
Father,
Moving ahead can be so hard. It is a strain. Give us
the ability to trust you above our circumstances until we can see a bright, new
future ahead.
Amen
