Not that I have already attained, or am already perfected; but I press on, that I may lay hold of that for which Christ Jesus has also laid hold of me. Brethren, I do not count myself to have apprehended; but one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead, I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.

In the book of Job, in Chapter 3, Job reflects on the past, pondering where he may have erred or how things might have been different. Job 3:25-26 says, "For the thing I greatly feared has come upon me, And what I dreaded has happened to me. I am not at ease, nor am I quiet; I have no rest, for trouble comes." (NKJV) You can't alter whether you went to the altar last week or the week before, whether you served or gave in the past two weeks. You can't change whether you truly showed love to people in the last two weeks. BUT you have the power to choose Jesus right now. You can opt to serve, give, and love at this very moment. So, choose Jesus, choose to serve, choose to give, and choose to love. Life Lesson: The past is over; you can only change the future. Lord,
Living to tell what He died to say, |
