Who you once were, is not as important as who you are today. We tend to look at the past rather it be good or bad. Sometimes thinking the (What ifs) It's a lot easier to see the decision we should of made after the fact "High sight is 20/20" If we keep looking back we miss the blessings, opportunities and events happening right in front of us. "We are not who we once were""We are a new creation old things are passed away all things are made new" Will you still make mistakes? Yes!, Can you still make bad decisions? YES! In all these decisions we should seek Wisdom, Discernment, and Direction from God! If we seek God in all that we do we will be keeping our eyes upon the goal, not willing to look back for when we look back we are overcome by our adversary because we've taken our focus off of Christ, our Goal! The things that we once had should be considered a loss, rubbish, dung, for the knowledge of knowing of the Saving Grace of Christ Jesus Lord and Savior! Once you have obtained this Grace, why would you want to look back on who you were, or what you once had? Christ tells us "Who ever has placed his hand upon the plow and looks back is not worthy of the kingdom of Heaven" In others words if you keep looking behind you, you can not be His Disciple!
