Paul didnβt deny his past.
He just refused to let it drive.
βForgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goalβ¦ββ Philippians 3:13β14
Notice this:
Paul doesnβt say the past doesnβt matter.
He says it doesnβt get to steer.
Regret will keep you looking backward.
Nostalgia will keep you standing still.
Both feel spiritual. Neither is obedience.
Faith presses forwardβeven when clarity isnβt complete, even when the road still hurts, even when youβre tired of starting again.
You donβt move on by feeling ready. You move on by deciding the past no longer gets a vote. π What are you still holding onto that God already told you to release so you could move forward?
