Today Deal With The Junk

"Do not remember the former things, nor consider
the things of old." Isa 43:18 NKJV

We all have emotional attics and basements where we
store our "junk." And it's the same in our relationships.
It's hard for a relationship to thrive when either party
hasn't processed their mental and emotional iunk. We
are talking about (1) regrets we have over past
mistakes, (2) grudges we hold on to when we feel we
have been wronged, and (3) hurts we hide under
clouds of anger, scepticism, and isolation. If you're the
type to hold grudges and hang on to past mistakes,
even your own, you know the feeling of being weighed
down by your mental and emotional junk. Clinging to
hurts 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. If
an old beau has hurt you and you have never let it go,
every time your mate does something like it, you will
react with unjustified fervor, as if they were the
original person who hurt you. As a result, your mate is
left upset and baffled at vour excessive reaction to a
slight infraction that on its own was insignificant. You
won't know what you have in your life, let alone what
you need, until you clear out the junk of the past so
that you can experience the blessings of the "here and
now." It all comes down to obeying these two
Scriptures: (1) "Forgive us our debts, as we forgive our
debtors" (Mt 6:12 NKJV) and (2) "Do not remember
the 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 eat
your soul.
