LET GO OF THE PAST
Author Unknown
November 15, 2010

My child,

Give up! Give up those hurts of the past. It's time to move on. satan
loves to have you live in the past because that renders you
ineffective to live in the present-in the now.

Tell Me, child. What is it that has happened to you? Who hurt you?
What mistakes have you made that you regret? Did what happen to you
change the fact that Jesus loves you, and He died on the cross for you
so you could live in heaven with Him for all eternity?

Can anything or anyone ever change that fact? You know that nothing
can ever nullify what Jesus did for you on the cross. If that's true,
and it is, then nothing else matters, does it?

There is nothing that can happen to you, nothing anyone can do to you
that can ever change the fact that My Son, Jesus, loves you and died
on the cross for you so you gain heaven for all eternity. No one can
ever take that away from you. No One!

Hold on to that thought. Put things in their proper perspective. When
you do that, you'll see that being loved unconditionally, attaining
salvation and the right to go to heaven is your ultimate goal.
Everything else pales in comparison to that.

Even physical death cannot take heaven away from you, for then the
real you-your spirit-just changes abodes. Physical death for
Christians is moving from living in the temple of the Holy Spirit,
your body, to living in heaven.

I know, My child, I know. Your mind is often filled with hurtful
things that happen to you. Sometimes you even say to people "You don't
know how much it hurt Me when such and such happened." Well, I ask you
again, does what happen to you in the past change the fact that Jesus
loves you and died for you, and now you can spend eternity with Him in
heaven? I don't have to wait for your answer, because I know
immediately your mind said, "No!"

Then, child, nothing else matters! Compared to eternity, all problems
are nothing. Loving Me, being in My family, gaining the right to live
in heaven for eternity-that's what's important in life. If you lose
that, you've lost it all. Don't hold grudges. forgive! Nothing you can
gain on earth can
make up for that loss, and nothing can happen to you on earth that can
take that away from you- Nothing!

Love,
God
