Philippians 3:14 I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.

There is a personal mark or goal we all should be striving for. However, we can’t go towards our goal looking back to our past. Some of us live in regret thinking on the mistakes of our past or thinking on things we could have done better. We can’t allow our mistakes to determine our future. Focus on God for our future.

Another type of reflection focuses on the emotional pain from a friend or family member. Some of us have been rejected, abused, or unloved. The person who hurt us may have asked for forgiveness, moved on with their life, or died but, we’re still holding on to our pain from our past for a number of reasons.

Regardless of what we’ve done or what we’ve gone through, we serve a God Who knows our future and He has already made provision for us to come out on top regardless of our past. Let go of your past and focus on your future to obtain the goal God has for you.
