Yourlife will go in the direction of your most dominant thoughts. Whenyourthoughts are focused on the past, it hinders your growth. Yourthoughtsof the past hold you back, causing you to relive those eventsover andover again. But when you look straight ahead at the future Godhasplanned for you, then you can move forward. It's just like drivingacar. If your rearview mirror were as big as your windshield,youwouldn't get very far. You would just sit there looking atwhat'sbehind you. But when you fix your eyes on your future, thepastdisappears. Choose today to look straight ahead by forgiving thosewhohave hurt you in your life. And it doesn't matter if it was yearsagoor just yesterday. Choose today to look straight ahead and moveforwardinto the life of blessing God has in store for you!
