Yet, my brothers, I do not consider myself to have \u201carrived\u201d, spiritually, nor do I consider myself already perfect. But I keep going on, grasping ever more firmly that purpose for which Christ grasped me. My brothers, I do not consider myself to have fully grasped it even now. But I do concentrate on this: I leave the past behind and with hands outstretched to whatever lies ahead I go straight for the goal\u2014my reward the honour of being called by God in Christ.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Philippians 3:13 (Phillips)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If Paul was able to leave his past under the blood of Jesus, you should be able to as well. Paul, previously known as Saul, had the job of killing Christians. That is not something that would be easy to forget. Paul encountered the power of God on the road to Damascus and was forever changed. But he said he had to continually leave his old life in the past. That is what we must do. Leave the past in the past. Reach toward the will of God for your life now. He has a good plan. Don’t miss it because you are looking to what is behind you. There is a saying, “If the devil brings up your past, remind him of his future.” <\/p>\n\n\n\n
