Why is it so hard to let go of the past…
So tell me, why is it so hard to release the past and move on. For some people it seems so easy, for others like me, it is a challenge! Maybe because holding on to the past is what I am familiar with, and stepping out by letting go, is unknown and unfamiliar.
While being here, in GA., I have been internalizing alot, thinking and trying to sort out emotionally & mentally, my life as I see it. I am just reminded however, how incapable I am of sorting things out myself, that only God can! I think sometimes, I focus so much on what is wrong with me, I do not see what is right. Dangerous place to be! So I do what I know best to do, I wrestle with God and myself, asking questions of HIM and of myself. Questions like what do I have to lose if I do jump or step out from the past and into the future?
Questions like why am I so full of fear and anger? I know this is quite a personal post as compared to some of the others I have written, but sometimes exposing the things in your heart, helps bring revelations and insight.
Also at times it hurts to see the mess that our hearts have become. It hurts when God shows us ourselves as we truly are. When God like a surgeon reveals the depths of the heart. Reminds me of Psalm 139 which talks about God searching our hearts and making it known to us.
i like this post…i can definately relate to it! For me, two things stood out; one is that we need to allow ourselves to be products of our past and not prisoners, let God shape us, teach us and show us Himself through it…use the experiences as stepping stones to step out, not as weights to take us down. The other i’m still chatting over with Him
