Moving forward was the Presidents slogan for his campaign this year. But before the President made it popular, we've all been trying to do that since the beginning of time. Slavery, Racism, Inequality, Abuse, Failure, Disability, etc. Moving forward isn't always as easy as it seems. We can hype ourselves up about doing it, be good one day and then something triggers up that day, that time, those feelings from the past and we are right back campaigning in sorrow and defeat.
Time ... does ... heal ... all ... wounds. It may take years, it may even be accompanied by some form of therapy but you will get to a point will you no longer want to wallow in that "stuff". We may never forget the hurt of the past BUT GLORY, if you look for GOD, HE will find you. HE will remove it. Just ask and HIS promises will be delivered.
It is an awesome splendor to have been somewhere so dark, cruddy and lonely and then you finally see progress...hope!! A weight has been lifted, your heart has is awake and your life is shifting, your goals are aligning and all you see is how GOD has moved in your life. Where you were and how far you've come. You'll sit back and think, "I can't believe I even let that bother me!"
In the midst of tragedy, of hurt, of death, of failure, of distress and fear. HE is good. He is merciful and Almighty. *insert praise dance here* ;)
I pray that we all find comfort in the Lord through whatever we've been through, are going through and will go through. Life doesn't stop until the "end" ... until then we must live in knowing that there is so much more than living in the past.
I pray that we all find healing, strength, courage, humor, love, peace, happiness and forgiveness.
Have a Wonderful Christmas and a Happy New Year ... moving forward.
