Isaiah 65:16 ” Whoever invokes a blessing in the land will do so by the God of truth; he who takes an oath in the land will swear by the God of truth. For the past troubles will be forgotten and hidden from My eyes.”

It’s not God who throws the past up in your face…filling you with guilt, shame, and embarrassment.  And it’s not Him who reminds you of all the  stupid mistakes, bad judgment calls, and blunders you’d just like to forget. No, we’re really good at beating our-self up over our past without anyone else’s help!  But there’s nothing we can do about the past, and besides, God’s not concerned about it…what He’s concerned about is what we’re doing for Him today.  For God isn’t a God of the past…He’s a God of the here and now…with a focus on today, not on what happened years ago.  So let go of the past, it’s just a heavy weight you’re dragging around for nothing.
