(Matthew 6:34)
"Therefore do not be anxious for tomorrow; for tomorrow will care for itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.
"
Our Lord and Savior died to free us from the death sting of our sins.
He paid the price so that we wouldn't have to pay it ourselves.
He doesn't even ask for our thanks in words; but He does require a positive response, as He told the woman caught in the act of adultery (John 8:10-11).
This woman can never reverse the sin she committed. It is locked in time, and she can never go back and change the events, any more than any of us could.
But what Jesus says is what is done is done. From now on let's live a life that will not lead to those previous sins. Live for tomorrow – yesterday is gone forever.
This doesn't mean that we forget that we have sinned, but that we recognize our sin and the errors of our ways, and are sorry for what we did, and resolve in our heart and soul never to do it again.
Jesus Christ gives us a new start.
Stop worrying about the past, but learn from it.
This is nothing new. We've been told this for a long, long time.
The Lord told us this through the prophet Isaiah in 43:18-21.
18. "Do not call to mind the former things,
Or ponder things of the past.
19. "Behold, I will do something new,
Now it will spring forth;
Will you not be aware of it?
I will even make a roadway in the wilderness,
Rivers in the desert."
We have to learn to leave room for God
What might look hopeless to us is hardly a challenge for our Lord.
The worst things in our lives can be straightened out by our compassionate and loving God, if we will let Him; and while He is doing this, He will refresh us with His living waters.
All we have to do is pass this same love and compassion on to every other living being.
And all creation will benefit.
This is not worrying about the past.
This is enjoying today.
This is living for tomorrow.
