Re: ...
Unless the past is dealt with, we are not prepared to live in the present nor go on into the future.
Unless the past is dealt with, it becomes a haunting memory that destroys our ability to honor Christ in our daily life.
If we are not careful, the bitterness of the past can linger in our speech, expressions, and actions.
It’s time to wash the past off, so that it doesn’t destroy our future.
You can never go forward with a dirty face.
Sometimes you need to wash the junk of the past off your face.
Some of us are not ready to go forward and receive what God has for us because we're still polluted with the junk from yesterday.
You can’t have a decent relationship with your spouse because you are still nursing bitterness and anger, and massive hurts from previous relationships.
You can't get a new job because you blow every interview. The pollution from the last job follows you to into every interview. You're not ready because you haven’t washed your face from the last situation.
You’ve never washed your face. You’re going around with slime all over your face. Everybody can see that you are polluted and dirty, but you won’t even take the time to look in the mirror to see how ridiculous your unresolved past issues are making you look to everyone else.
