When you take the trash out at the end of the day, do you go back the next day and pick it up again? Of course not; so why not keep your past mistakes in the same bin? God doesn’t remember our sins of the past. Do you know what He does? He covers them and leaves them where they belong and covers us with His blood. When you uncluttered your closet; spring cleaning is what it’s called; why not do the same with your mistakes? Don’t allow them to cause you to fall. When you lovingly encourage a sister or a brother in deep grief; do you hold onto to those words for yourself as well? Do you allow yourself time to let things be? God doesn’t forgive us so we can hold onto mistakes from the past; don’t you think it’s about time to leave the past in the trash?
