Forget Failures

Forget failures. Forget mistakes. Forget everything but what you're going to do now... And do it.

A friend of mine recently shared this saying with me. Forgetting my mistakes is something I have had a hard time doing. Instead of moving on, I want to dwell on those mistakes and sulk. Instead of getting back up and trying again, I want to just lie there and do nothing. Instead of being defined by my successes, I choose to identify with my failures. And in doing so I have chained myself emotionally to an imaginary cell that prevents me from moving forward to accomplish the tasks before me.

    You have nothing but this moment in front of you. Grace covers what's before....Grace will cover what comes next and He gives you Grace to do what is in the NOW.
