There is a saying I’m sure that you have heard, “Time heals all things.” Time makes the hurt from a loss lessen. Time helps us forget some things. Time can only do so much to help us get over our past. It takes faith and patience for us to recover from the pain of our past, to get over things we have or have not done, and poor decisions and mistakes that taint our lives. What a blessing to know that the Holy Spirit wants us to overcome our past. (Hebrews 10:36 You need to persevere so that when you have done the will of God, you will receive what he has promised.) Full recovery from your past is possible, but it will take your help. What you do today will either contribute to your misery or invest in your healing. One of the best ways to get over the hurt of your past is to confess God’s promises instead of repeating your negative conversations. Speak life into your day instead of those defeated attitudes. Stop praising the problems of your past by daily rehearsing them. Exercise your faith and claim the promises of God. If you constantly claim your healing and forgiveness the pain of the past will soon be forgotten. Claiming God’s promises and provisions daily is a powerful way for all of us to live and enjoy life.
