Scripture: āForget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it?ā ā Isaiah 43:18ā19 (NIV) Devotional Thought: There comes a moment when God invites us to look at ourselvesānot with regret, but with resolve. The mirror doesnāt reflect our mistakes; it reflects our becoming. What once hurt you does not have permission to define you. God specializes in new beginnings, even when the old chapters still whisper. Today, youāre not denying the pastāyouāre releasing it into Godās hands so you can step forward lighter, wiser, and free. Action Step: Stand in front of a mirror today and say out loud: āI release what was, and I receive what God is doing next.ā Then take one small step that aligns with the future God is calling you toward.
