Today Deal With The Junk

"Do not remember the former things, nor considerthe things of old." Isa 43:18 NKJVWe all have emotional attics and basements where westore our "junk." And it's the same in our relationships.It's hard for a relationship to thrive when either partyhasn't processed their mental and emotional iunk. Weare talking about (1) regrets we have over pastmistakes, (2) grudges we hold on to when we feel wehave been wronged, and (3) hurts we hide underclouds of anger, scepticism, and isolation. If you're thetype to hold grudges and hang on to past mistakes,even your own, you know the feeling of being weigheddown by your mental and emotional junk. Clinging tohurts and nourishing grudges will eat your soul,consume your happiness, and rob you of all progress.Like blame, this junk keeps you trapped in the past. Ifan old beau has hurt you and you have never let it go,every time your mate does something like it, you willreact with unjustified fervor, as if they were theoriginal person who hurt you. As a result, your mate isleft upset and baffled at vour excessive reaction to aslight infraction that on its own was insignificant. Youwon't know what you have in your life, let alone whatyou need, until you clear out the junk of the past sothat you can experience the blessings of the "here andnow." It all comes down to obeying these twoScriptures: (1) "Forgive us our debts, as we forgive ourdebtors" (Mt 6:12 NKJV) and (2) "Do not rememberthe former things, nor consider the things of old.Behold, I will do a new thing" (Isa 43:18-19 NKJV).Today, deal with the junk.Clinging to hurts and nourishing grudges will eatyour soul.Send us Fan MailSupport the showChanging Lives | Building Strong Family | Impacting Our Community For Jesus Christ!
