History, despite its wrenching pain, cannot be unlived, however, if faced with courage, it need not be lived again. – Maya Angelou
The Israelites remind us in the book of Judges that history does repeat itself, until you try a different way. They finally did. AMEN!
Often, we drift off in our minds to former times in our life wishing we knew then what we know now. Oh the changes we would have made, how much better off we would be, how life would be so much different. It’s good sometimes to be nostalgic, but life was meant for living forward, not looking backward. Living in cycles of despair, depression, or sadness is not God’s plan for us. The truth of the matter is God has graced us to know what we know now, that we may live a better today and tomorrow. Ours is not to wish what might’ve been, but to make life ‘what it should be,’ for God and His glory. The choice to break free is ours.
Until tomorrow…..
