DIVINE INSTRUCTIONS to live by
(By: Pastor Taiwo Iredele Odubiyi)
Don’t let past mistakes discourage you
“Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past.
Isaiah 43:18 NIV
If you made some mistakes or bad decisions, ask God for forgiveness, forgive yourself and others, and move forward, doing the right things. There’s no point crying over spilled milk no matter how much you’d like to do that.
If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. (1 John 1:9)
If you can correct the mistake, do it, but if you can’t, push it behind you, put your trust in God, and look forward to what He has in store for you.
You will sometimes remember the past issues, but do yourself a favour- choose not to dwell on it.
To truly move forward, you must do things the right way; don’t make another mistake or bad decision.
I pray this year brings everything that will make you smile in Jesus name.
