We hear the same phrase over and over again. Nothing ever stays the same. Yet when it happens to you, it's almost surreal. A crash of metal against metal. A house full of memories ablaze with fire. A sudden loss of a business in times of economic turmoil. Bankruptcy. Pregnancy. Marriage. Divorce. Graduation. So many events in a person's life, big and small. Just when you get used to the way life is, everything changes. Amazing, isn't it? How many times do we look back to the way things used to be, wishing for days gone by?
Jesus told us, "No one who puts his hand to the plow and looks back is fit for service in the kingdom of God." Luke 9:62 In order to be used for God's glory, we have to look forward. It's amazing how hard that can be. I am always looking back to the days before I was _______, or when we had _________. There are days where I spend every moment reflecting on my past, when in fact I need to be in the present looking towards my future so that I may of use in God's kingdom.
So tonight I look towards my future, full of hope and faith, knowing that God is always there.
"Learn from yesterday, Live for today, Hope for tomorrow" Albert Einstein
