Challenged to use the past for good...

It's been an interesting day...


Normally I can sit down and write away on my essay's with thoughts coming and going, inspirational ones...pointless ones...rather peculiar ones...


Yet today, I managed an introduction, done some prep work amongst other things and had to leave it there..
My mind was somewhere else today...I've had the song "I will rise'' playing pretty much most of the day...and along with the kindly reminder that we aren't to dwell on the past but learn from our biggest mistakes and turn them into the biggest life changers!


Are we rising from our past...from our mistakes...from our troubles? Or as I wrongly 'thought' today, we should just leave it in the past and slot it into our forgetful part of the human mind?...


I would challenge us to look to what scripture says on this subject...


'For everything that was written in the past was written to teach us, so that through the endurance taught in the Scriptures and the encouragement they provide we might have hope.' Romans 15:4


Just as everything which was written in the past was written to teach us and through the endurance taught in the Scriptures we have hope! I believe everything which was done in the past is there to teach us so that through the endurance which was taught in the past... we have hope! 


Hope in a God who is Love
Hope in a God who is Hope
Hope in a God who is Good
Hope in a God who is Indescribable

Hope in a God who Saves


I will rise on eagles wings...before my God...fall on my knees..
