Pain or promise, which one rules you?

“All we have to do is decide what to do with the time that is given to us.” -Gandalf, The Fellowship of the Ring

We all have moments and times in our lives that we wish hadn’t happened. But we can’t change the past. However we can choose how we react to it and what we do with what we have.

Its easy to say I’ve always been like this or you don’t know what I’ve been through. You’re right I don’t but God does and he’s the one that can heal your wounds.

When we let our past dictate our future, we let our past have all the power. But when we choose to let God heal us from our past. We choose to no longer let it affect us. Instead we can look to the future that God has planed for us.

One thought on “Pain or promise, which one rules you?”

  1. Definitely need to not let the past give us an excuse to go ahead and live the best life we can. We may have had stuff happen to us that was not good, but no need to act like victim and let it define us.
