If you don't deal with your past, you cannot go anywhere.
We've done and said some things that the current us today would not be too proud of and for a good number of us, we have carried these regrets as hidden shields that prevent us from moving foward.
A lot of us have been forgiven of hurts and pains we inflicted on either ourselves or on others, but we have not forgiven ourselves. So we go through life with heavy invisible pads and weights of guilt that have already been taken away.
When I was 13 years old thereabouts, I made a terrible mistake that would both scarred my future and tarnished my life. In the heat of anger, I raised my baby brother upside down and slammed his head on a concrete slab.
He's alive and is perfectly all right, but you see after the ordeal passed and everything else returned back to normal, i didn't. My mind was stuck up in a place of "what if I had killed him"??.
A potential murderer in the making🤣🤣. How did I allow there thoughts hunt me for years us what I now cannot decipher. I had been forgiven. By my family, my brother and most importantly, by God - in all reality and essence, guilt was supposed to be "nowhere to be found", but why did it still nag at me??
A lot of us women have baggages of past guilts and regrets we haven't let go off and this continually acts as a barrier and stops the blessings that God wants to bring our way.
Maybe you aborted that child, or gave him or her away🤷 or whatever is you've done that you aren't proud of.
It's been 15years now, but you can't still let the thought go and rest in the fact that you've been forgiven. You think that any and every bad thing that happens to you is a consequence of the mistakes you made and you even expect reprimands when you have a loving father who has forgiven you and forgotten all.
Why do you still choose to bear the brunt for what isn't even there anymore??
If a relationship ends, let it. Move on.
When you decide to hold onto the hurts and regrets from past experiences or failed endeavours, you're like a woman who is expecting new things , but with hands full of old ones
Which hand will she use to accept them??
Where you are right now,the things you know now, you were not here 10 years ago and by error or omission, you didn't have the knowledge at that time.
You have been forgiven, forgive yourself. Only when you do can you move foward with open and ready hands to receive all the blessings God is bringing your way.
