One reason God created time was so that there would be a place to bury the failures of the past. The past is something that should be forgotten, unfortunately, a lot of people let it define them. So, why do we, especially believers, still hold on to things of the past? Why do we let others use the past to make us feel miserable?
Scripture in Isaiah says “Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing.
You have a clean slate. I don't care if you have to tell yourself that every single day, SAY IT! Because today, It's the Clean Slate for me!! - D. Michele
