Don't get stuck on where you were. Don't waste your time focusing on what you used to be. Remember, the hope we have in Christ means there's a brighter tomorrow. The sins are forgiven. The shame is canceled out. We're no longer chained to a deep, dark pit of the past. Grace gives us wings to soar beyond it. "You are God, ready to pardon, gracious and merciful."(Nehemiah 9:17) (Charles R. Swindoll)
