For the New Year - Let go of the past

New Year is a new beginning. It is a time by which we leave our past behind us and start living our life new and fresh. We always want and search for new things in life. New things renew us. They give us a chance to live again correcting whatever mistakes we have done before. But, to live a new life we have to able to forget our past.

Past failures or bad experiences make you fear life. Living in fear is not living at all. Not forgetting them will hold you back from living today.

The Bible says: Neither do men pour new wine into old wineskins. If they do, the skins will burst, the wine will run out and the wineskins will be ruined. Matthew 9:17 Old and New never live together. They burst each other. One should leave the place for the other. You can’t live today unless you leave your past behind you.

Forgetting your past is tough; though it is not impossible. You need to decide to forget it and move on.  Besides, God will help you. He is always there for you whenever you need him. He is faithful. All you need to do is ask.

Each day comes only once in your life. That is why you have to keep on moving. Leave your past failures, bad experiences, mistakes, whatever… there and go. Otherwise you miss two special days in our life; your yesterday and your today, which is quite a loss.
