In Christ...Our past

...we are free to look back on mistakes, on hardships, on embarrasments and see them afresh. We are hidden in Him. Ahhh the losses in love, the poor decisions. It's a tapestry of life not a life diverting, life wrecking, life ending failure.

True freedom. To look back and see events as just chapters leading up to the now and part of the exciting story that leads into eternity. It's no longer events where I blew it, screwed things up, failed, or missed out, but steps in a great story. Plot devices that had to be to make this story so rich and make the future so bright and clear. They do not hurt any less, but they no longer bring us in any bondage. For in Christ, we are truly freed.
