When we go through life, we sometimes choose to not let go of our past, our fears, our choices, and our behaviors. We don't live as who we have become, but instead live our life from the past. We manage to portray ourselves in a way that is simply repeating our old behaviors, our way of looking at the world, and thus how we interact with it. We choose not to relate our lives beyond our understanding, but instead within the safe confines of our old selves. We do not let go so that we can become who we think we are based upon our past and our memories. Yet, we are made up of so much more than our past. The past is a factor portrayed throughout our lives as a pretense to live by. we are not our past. We are new in every waking moment that we exist in.To let go of your past is to live freely just as you are. The past does not define us; what does is only what we choose to be. We are slaves to the past only by our choosing. For it is only by unwillingness do we refuse to let the past remain there.
Let go and let God
Knowing full well that you do not have control over things and laying them at His feet helps. When your down or know someone who is on themselves just repeat few times, Let Go and Let God... we have to understand we are powerless over the things we cannot change or the mistakes we've made. but with full faith in God, it will be taken care of. There's nothing too tough for God! He's able, he's not mad at you, he loves you in fact he loves you even more when we make mistakes.




Brothers and sisters, I know that I have not yet reached that goal, but there is one thing I always do. Forgetting the past and pressing on toward what is ahead. Philippians 3:13

Loved your post. Letting go of past is really the toughest thing in life. It's kind of relevant to a few things that I'm going through now. Thank you for sharing your thoughts. :)
