The Past is NOT your Friend!

Posted by Dr. Nycole P. Lyles-Belton on September 18, 2010 at 2:34pm
This past week I was revisited by the “PAST”. Not just the regular passing by past. I mean the “almost took me OUT past”! I mean the “left me for dead” PAST! I had a choice to entertain it or ignore. I had a choice to ask why or keep on moving. I had the choice to give "it" a tongue lashing or let it ride. I chose to let it ride but I also looked upon it as a teachable moment. The lesson learned was when you get passed an area of your life in which you were deeply connected which scrapped you to your core, the enemy will ALWAYS find a way to bring it back to your remembrance. When you are progressing wonderfully the enemy is infuriated! When you are no longer being used and wallowing in defeat, the enemy wants to make you regress and fall off. This is the very reason why we must be resilient in our faith and always make advancements toward GREATER.



We can NOT be-friend the past! It's the past for a reason. Use it only as a point of reference to remind you from whence you came and use it as a testimony to help bring someone else out of the pit you were once in. I thank the LORD that HE allowed me to pass this test with flying colors! I also thank HIM because I was able to remember that dark, miserable, abandoned, hellish, depressed and low state that the HE brought me out of. I am now able to look back and say if it had now been for the LORD on my side!



I say all of this to say... Always be GRATEFUL for your past but never, ever be-friend your past. Just look up and say, "Thank You"!
