We shouldn't live in the past but we should learn from it. In Philippians 3:13,14 it talks about forgetting those things which are behind us and reaching forward to those things ahead. Sometimes forgetting the past is a lot easier said than done but we have to do it. We can't live in guilt and condemnation because he has already forgiven us. We can't pay for sin that he has already paid for. We have to learn to let it go and sometimes let it go again when we are reminded of it. I don't live in the past but from time to time I am reminded of things I have done that I am not proud of but I do not dwell on those thoughts. I remind myself of His forgiveness.
Lord I thank you for freeing my husband of his past. I thank you that you teach him how to let it go. I pray you show him how to not live in it but to learn from it and get passed it. Remind him of your faithfulness and your forgiving power. Guilt and condemnation have no room in his life. I thank you that he forgives himself and others quickly. In Jesus Name, Amen.
