Let the past be the past, let it go.
Let the now be the now, let it flow.
Do not linger in the past,
No longer live in fear.
Let the past be the past, let it go.
There is no past as far as God is concerned. When your sins are washed away by the blood of Jesus, you have no past. And from where God sits in eternity, time does not exist. There is no such thing as the future, because He sees the whole picture. It’s His plan, the victory has been won by Jesus Christ forever, and we can trust the future to Him.
When the thought comes to you of all the wrong things you have done, let those thoughts spur you on to do right, but don’t let those thoughts linger on, tormenting you. God isn’t condemning you, He sent His Son Jesus Christ to die to save you from your sins and give you eternal life. If you have accepted Jesus as your Savior and Lord, any condemnation you might feel comes from the evil one or your own memory.
Lay those ugly old scars of your past at the feet of Jesus once and for all, and never think about them again.
In Philippians 3:13-14 kjv, Paul said, “Forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.”
On the other hand, when the thought comes to you of all the wonderful things you have done for Jesus, let those thoughts spur you on to do more, but don’t let those thoughts cause you to relax or quit, because the jewels in your crown for years of faithful service to the Lord will outshine any star.
God is the God of the now. Press on.
