Last Week Is Over.

 Last week is over. Don’t look back over your shoulder. This week needs you to wake up single-minded and whole-hearted, not double-minded and half-hearted. So forget what’s behind and press on towards what’s before, take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of you. 

You gotta to get past your past. Ask for God’s forgiveness and healing and let go of it. Don’t say anymore, ”If I knew then what I know now…I would have…”. We all would, but that’s not how life unfolds for anyone. That’s a statement to keep you in a holding pattern of regret and guilt. Free yourself from that foolish and wishful thinking. 

People hurt you and you’ve hurt people…that's a reality of life. Learn from in, grow from it. Your pain is often your greatest platform of influence. Don’t hide it, share your story of all the crap you’ve been through and overcome…others need that hope for their own messy stories. 

So let’s kick this week’s butt, ok? You and me. This week needs your best effort, your soul needs it to. The only way to gain respect for yourself is to do hard things armed with a gritty and grateful spirit. It’s gonna be a good week no matter what comes our way. Let’s do this!!
