Rough Draft

It just hit me!!

Finally!

Your Past Should Not Be A Rough Draft...

Instead, make it a template.

With a rough draft, we write it all out and have carefully, and maybe sometimes not so carefully, chosen the words we use. We may have been in a big rush at the time of writing it just to be able to hand something in and at some parts we did not thoughtfully consider exactly what it was we were writing. It is not until after we have proofread that rough draft that we discover the mistakes we made and we want to go back and change everything (This is your past).

But, no! That's not what we want to do...we don't want a rough draft. All of the reediting that comes along with it is just fine for a rough draft but unfortunately, our pasts can't be changed. Do not try to. Don't make it a rough draft...make it a template.

Making it a template allows you to look at it, look over it, and make an example of it. See what you did on that rough draft but instead of attempting to change everything around, use it and add to it. And don't keep that template around for too long. Get what you need from it, what it is that you need to change, and put it away until you need it again. Continuously looking over it will only be detrimental to you...It will cause you to continue to dwell on your past and the mistakes you've made and that's unhealthy. In order to move forward we have got to move on and move past.

In essence, let go of your past. Pass it on to God. Sit it as His feet and leave it there. Repent to Him and Let It Go. Clear your hearts and clear your mind and receive God's peace that passes ALL understanding.

I love God, I love you, and I'm learning to love me.
