"Moving on from the Past"
As many of you know and have seen, so many people tend to live much of their lives in the past, until they have trouble living their lives in the present. Besides that of course, so many of them live stuck in the past of the lives of people who have been dead and buried 20, 30, 50, 100 years ago or more, as if those who are dead and gone would care about such things now in this present time. That is like certain types of prejudices, bigotries, hatred, feelings of bitterness towards others, and whatever other negative feelings and emotions one might have towards others are warranted. I see and hear of people being upset and angry over something that had nothing at all to with them which might have occurred years ago to someone else. Sure there are times when it is fine to remember the past so that when what occurred in the past does not get repeated in the present or the future. Some of these people feel as if it is necessary for them to be stuck in the past so that those of the past are not forgotten, which is why there is such a thing as History.
Now listen to Me, My children, none of you who are living today is obligated to let the present suffer in favor of protecting the past. The past is over and done with, which is why it is now known as the past or History. It is also difficult to move on in the present and/or future when one is being held back by the past that is haunting them over and over again. As many of you have recognized today, some people are still yet filled with anger, hatred, bitterness, and such over such things as slavery, when there is so much progress that has happened since those times. And if you are honest, almost every race has been enslaved by some other race at one time or another, therefore, everyone has a right to walk around with a chip on their shoulder, so to speak. Just try to learn to be proud of what is being accomplished by everyone today rather than being fixated on the failures of the past. Now may you be a part of the new present and future, in and through JESUS CHRIST your Lord and Savior.
AMEN
