There is a saying that I love very much......Today is a gift - that's why its called The Present. The day is always full of opportunities which are too many to grab than to waste time worrying about the past. We all have 24hours in the day, how you utilise it will be a great blessing to you.
We waste so much energy and time focusing on what might have been, could have been and should have been. Worrying about the past or what could have been only adds to your stress and causes unnecessary anxiety.
Tell me; And who of you by worrying can add one hour to [the length of] his life? (Matthew 6:27 AMP*) No one....the only thing you can control is what you do in the present. So seize this opportunity and make a change in your life. We all make mistakes, the beginning of the story is not as important as how it ends. Our God is a God of second chances and He's already given us enough blessings for the day.......They are new every morning(Lamentations 3:23).
Today, i urge you to have faith in God, forget about the past, seize the present and start living. Remain blessed as you reflect on these words from Matthew 6:25-34(AMP*):
The Cure for Anxiety
25 “Therefore I tell you, stop being worried or anxious (perpetually uneasy, distracted) about your life, as to what you will eat or what you will drink; nor about your body, as to what you will wear. Is life not more than food, and the body more than clothing? 26 Look at the birds of the air; they neither sow [seed] nor reap [the harvest] nor gather [the crops] into barns, and yet your heavenly Father keeps feeding them. Are you not worth much more than they? 27 And who of you by worrying can add one [l]hour to [the length of] his life? 28 And why are you worried about clothes? See how the lilies and wildflowers of the field grow; they do not labor nor do they spin [wool to make clothing], 29 yet I say to you that not even Solomon in all his glory and splendor dressed himself like one of these. 30 But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which is alive and green today and tomorrow is [cut and] thrown [as fuel] into the furnace, will He not much more clothe you? You of little faith! 31 Therefore do not worry or be anxious (perpetually uneasy, distracted), saying, ‘What are we going to eat?’ or ‘What are we going to drink?’ or ‘What are we going to wear?’ 32 For the [pagan] Gentiles eagerly seek all these things; [but do not worry,] for your heavenly Father knows that you need them. 33 But first and most importantly seek (aim at, strive after) His kingdom and His righteousness [His way of doing and being right—the attitude and character of God], and all these things will be given to you also.
34 “So do not worry about tomorrow; for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.
