a thought on the past.

lets forget about the past. lets move on and never think about anything thats ever happened. we will take up our new roles as sons and daughters of God and live righteously. God has forgotten our past sins, so let us do the same since that is obviously what holds us back from glorifying God and being like Christ. I mean if we could just simply forget about what makes us sin in the first place, why we handle life the way we do, why we get mad, hurt, embarrased then we should have no problem living with our new hearts a blameless joyfull life.

O i know why! I guess because that is impossible! So instead of ignoring something that shapes every bad thing we do in life lets acknowledge it. well at least a little bit of it. maybe just one specific moment we can remember. just follow me for a second. Why is it that certain memories out of the millions of events that happens to us every year stand out in our minds. something significant must have happened there in our soul. and i would suggest that the younger we were the deeper those things are rooted, therefore the more meaningfull they would be. the first stones in building up who we are will be found in the foundation of who we are. and the scary part is for most all of us we didn't know Christ then! so a whole foundation of who we so uniquely are-for the good and bad, but mostly the bad, because lets be honest, if we didn't know Christ what of it could have been good!? ok so ... lets pray and ask God for a memory. just one. little or big. and lets meditate on it for a day or two or so. lets ask the Holy Spirit to reveal to us what significant thing is happening to us in this moment. what are we learning about God thats wrong? what are we learning about us thats wrong? what are we learning about people thats wrong? i think after we find this moment in time, it will lead us to other times in our lives when we felt the same way, or was learnig the same things. and we can, with the power of the HOly Spirit, begin to unravel the falacies and begin to let God know us from the beginning, begin to know him from the beginning and live holy and righteous through the blood of Christ , now-but also in our past.

just a thought- couldn't hurt.
