Are You Stuck In What "Could Have Been" or What You Think "Should Have Been" or Are You Moving Forward With God?

It's time to stop living in what "could have been" and what you think "should have been".    You have to understand that God knows all things.   He knows your beginning to your end and He has promised to work it ALL together for your good.    

So often we get stuck on what went wrong and even sometimes on what went right in our past that we can't see what God is doing in our present.    God knew everything that you would go through and He knows everything you will ever go through in life and He said that He has a plan for you.   You have to trust His plan.   You have to believe that God knows what He's doing.   You have to trust that His love, grace, and His mercy covers you.    

Some things that happen in our lives are by choice and some things are beyond our control.   You have to learn how to take control of those things that are a matter of choice and you have to know how to respond to those things that are beyond your control.   Don't be caught up in your mistakes.    Know what it means to repent.   True repentance means to ask God for forgiveness and to do an about-face.  Meaning after you have asked God to forgive you, you should be moving in the opposite direction and not dwelling in your sin.    When it comes to those things that are beyond your control, you have to know that God is with you, that He will never leave you nor forsake you, and that He will work it all together for your good.   

No matter what it is that is going on in your life, trust the One who gave you life.  Know that God said that His plan is for you to have hope, a future, and an expected end.   It's time to let go of the past and to move forward with God, expecting His plan to be perfected in your life.   

SCRIPTURE MEDITATION

King James Version
 “For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.”
