We all have something in common, we all have a past,a present,and a future,take our past,one thing none of us can do,we cannot change it. It reminds me of the words by Omar Khayyam,'' The moving finger writes ,and having writ,moves on: nor all thy piety nor wit,shall lure it back to cancel half a line. Nor all thy tears wash out a word of it''. Nothing can change what we have written ,or spoken,so it is we cannot change the past,we cannot by tears change the past. We may wish we could live our lives over again,but it is obvious we can't,but here is the good news ,we don't need to be controlled or,destroyed by our past. Jesus came to forgive our sins,but he also came to set us free,everyone who lives, sins, this is what Jesus says,''Everyone who sins is a slave to sin''( John 8 v 34 ) but He goes on to say,'' So, if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed'' (v 36 ),he has come to set the captives free. You can stop being a captive of your past,the apostle Paul writing to Christians in a place called Corinth ,mentions a number of sinful practices,sexually immorality,idolaters,adulterers,homosexuals,thieves,drunkards,slanders,and swindlers, none of these will go to heaven,Then he goes unto say,''but that is what some of you were.they were no longer practicing such things, because of Jesus (1 Cor 6 v 9 - 11)The guilt of past,the wickedness of the past,can be left behind, when Jesus forgives and sets you free..He is more powerful than whatever binds you,he is able to save to the uttermost.
