It’s crazy because sometimes we let our past torment us. That’s exactly what the devil wants, he wants your past to torment you and not lift you up. But we have a God who doesn’t use our past so we can stay there and replay. In fact God forgives our past and he doesn’t bring it back to torment us. Rather to raise you up, as well as for his glory and honor. Our Father in heaven sees things different. For him it’s a chance to bring broken lives unto him, to restore and bring to his original plan. Wholeness between his creation and himself. If you are reading I want you to understand God is not going to waste what you’ve gone through. There are so many people in this world hurting. They are waiting for you to awaken so that you can tell the world I was once lost as well but now I am found. I was once broken and hurting. Now I am whole and healed/restored. So that you can show the world there is hope through Jesus Christ! I remember when I first came to Christ, as you get closer to God he exposes to you the things that need changing. When you are used to doing something for so long, it’s hard to change. But when you truly receive Jesus as your Lord and savior, your Spirit speaks to you loud and clear. When I would fail God I would feel like such a terrible person. The conviction that I would feel was insane. When you are in the world no one feels bad when they sin because it’s normalized. They also don’t have the Holy Spirit who convicts their Spirit loud and clear. When you are in the world it’s so easy to close your ears to God. The chaos through the distractions block him. Yes he broke the veil that was between you and him, but at the end of the day you have free will… God is so beautiful that he’s not focused on our wrongs, he simply wants our hearts. That’s not to say keep sinning, it means try your best to stop. Honestly it will simply reflect and state where your relationship with God is at. The closer you get to God, the less you sin. This is so because you are more focused on looking like God and pleasing him.

If you are out there and you feel hopeless, like my pastor says I can’t offer you religion but I can offer you a relationship with Christ. Allow him to be enthroned over your heart/life. Let’s give our past to God and allow him to work…
