LIFE

"Life" - Reflecting back on my life, I sometimes ask the question, "would I change anything?" Of course there would be some things I probably wish I could have changed but wonder then would the outcome of my life and where I am now be different. We all have made choices in our lifetime that brought about consequences, whether good or bad, that we have to live with. Some are of the past yet some are still hanging on - for some, it's because we choose not to let them go and for others the results stare us in the face on a daily basis as a constant reminder. Either way, it's your life story and we all have one. Some choose not to share theirs, others share way too much. I believe how you deal with whatever life has thrown at you reflects who you are today. I also believe that no matter what has happened in the past, cannot dictate your future. Jeremiah 29:11 says "For I know the plans I have for you declares the Lord; plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." If you are a believer then God's plans for your life are far greater than you ever could have planned. Your sins can be forgiven and you can have a new life in Christ Jesus. The old will pass away and all things will become new. (2 Cor 5:17)

Don't let your past life dictate to you how you will live the REST of your life. It's not always going to be easy, but those are the things that will make you stronger and build character. Look at it as a test - one that you will pass and remember, "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me." Philippians 4:13. Be blessed and enjoy YOUR LIFE!
