"Leaving the Past in Its Grave, and Keep on Living" an Article of Encouragement

What Now? You Ask!

C.M.Song
Living in the past is a sentence
to a life of struggling and suffering.

No one wins in these situations.
Bringing up constantly-
What happened to you and
how everyone hurt you-
will only hurt you more.

The best thing to do with
these problems is to-
Bury the past!
Or the past will bury you!
Stop reminding yourself
of what happened,
by speaking about it
all the time.

You know that every time
you talk about your rough
life, you keep making the
wound more deeper.

Give all your painful memories
to Jesus Christ.
And ask the LORD to heal
your heart.

And keep living,
walking by faith.

Do yourself a favor,
leave the past in the grave,
and live your life in Christ,
your Savior.

Ask yourself-
What do I gain living this way?
Most likely, the answer is-
More pain, more bitterness,
and more sorrow.

And what does my future
seems like if I continue this way?

Very dark, sad, and lonely!

But now is the time to a new start!
The LORD always gives another
chance in life.

You're not the only one passing
through this.

"When a Moment has Ended, it is Considered.....
The Past!"

Prayer

Dear Heavenly Father,

Forgive me for living in the past.

I give all my bad memories, hurts,
and pains to You.

Heal my wounded heart,
and my mind.

Help me start anew,
and live a life pleasing to You.

Teach me to completely
trust in You.

I ask in Jesus' Name.
