"Brethren, I do not count myself to have apprehended; but one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead, I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus." (Philippians 3:13, 14 NKJV)
"Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God." (Hebrews 12:1, 2 NKJV)
It's interesting because forgetting the past and reaching ahead go hand in hand. If you can never let go of your past and all the baggage that comes with it, it's nearly impossible to reach for what's ahead with any expectancy of achieving all God has for you. Yes, you can grow from your failures and learn from your mistakes, but wallowing in the past will only keep you bound to a time and season that halts any momentum and progress into the future. Don't run this race bound to the failures of your past. Look upon Jesus and you will find yourself rapidly approaching all you've set out to do. Let go and let God!!!
Be Blessed!!
