Don't look back.

We've all made mistakes in our lives. We are all sinners. Christ died for those sins and forgives us when we ask Him and accept Him into our hearts. It doesn't matter what you've done, He will forgive you. If Hitler asked for forgiveness of His sins and meant it in His heart, Christ would welcome him in Heaven.

We all feel badly for our sins. Regret committing them. Feel guilty.

Hebrews 12:1 tells us:
Therefore then, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses [who have borne testimony to the Truth], let us strip off and throw aside every encumbrance (unnecessary weight) and that sin which so readily (deftly and cleverly) clings to and entangles us, and let us run with patient endurance and steady and active persistence the appointed course of the race that is set before us,

We can't take them back. All we can do is receive forgiveness and move forward. Let the guilt or whatever may be holding you back, go. Receive the freedom from these bondages.

Paul encourages us in Philippians 3:13-14:
13 I do not consider, brethren, that I have captured and made it my own [yet]; but one thing I do [it is my one aspiration]: forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead,
14 I press on toward the goal to win the [supreme and heavenly] prize to which God in Christ Jesus is calling us upward.

Don't look back. Move forward in Christ's peace. He freely gives it to you, free for the taking.

In Christ's Service
