Philippians 3:13
“Brethren, I count not myself to have
apprehended: but this one
thing I do,
forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things
which are before,”
"Forgetting what is behind. Probably most of us have done things we would much like...
to leave behind, to blot out from memory, to cut altogether lose from, to bury in oblivion. We cannot turn back the hands of the clock, that we may have any day over again. But we may bring to God all the mistakes, the follies, the sins --and He will forgive us, and then use even these poor broken things for good. We have little else to bring to God but wreckage -- disobediences, broken commandments, mistakes, sins. Yet it is a wonderful thought that even with such materials, if we are truly penitent and repentant -- our Master will work, helping us to build beauty in our lives. Sins forgiven become lessons for us. Out of a past full of failures, we may make a future full of strength and beauty -- through the grace of Christ." ~J. R. Miller
