LETTING GO OF THE PAST!🙋

Hebrews 11:15 And truly, if they had been mindful of that  country from whence they came out, they might have had opportunity  to have returned.

Remember how we sometimes look forward to the holidays, because it gives us time to indulge in activities we used to engage in our free times?

Or have you ever been to a place, an event, and you wish it didn't have to end?

Well, that is what happens when as christians, we give our lives to Christ but we miss our old habits. We are unwilling to walk away from the lives we used to live, or we still examine those old behaviors and try to see which one we can still indulge in even as christians

Our Bible verse made us to know that if you are still mindful of where you came from, you will probably soon find your way back there.

Hebrews 11: 16 But now they desire a better country, that is, an heavenly: wherefore God is not ashamed to be Called their God: for he hath prepared for them a city.

How proud do you think God is to be called your father when you try to sneak in a little sin here and there into his house, his temple, his presence?

As christians, we have similar goals, and it is to make it to the city of Light. When your gaze is fixed on that, it's just like when you want to pass your WAEC, or UTME. You study till the exam is over and you have passed. If you don't pass, you retake.

There is little to no option for a retake in Life's journey, and that is why the only thing you have to b mindful of, is your heavenly Journey, Looking into Jesus only.

Say this prayer with me.

Dear Father, I admit that my gaze often wander, and my feet often stray far from you, and I am sorry, forgive me for my sins. Kindly give unto me grace to stand and walk before you all the days of my life. To do what is pleasing to you and glorify your name. Amen.

Love,

MaryA.
