Reflect but do not retreat

“There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus…” Romans 8:1
Today I want to remind everyone that as you reflect on last year, and plan for this New Year, to let all condemnation go. Do not be disappointed, or anxious if you did not do all of the things you planned to do last year. Do not be worried if you will be able to accomplish all of the things you would like to for this year. The Father wants to remind you that in Him any and everything is possible if you just believe, and He will be the one to help you accomplish all you desire to, if you let Him but it’s time to let the past go. Reflect, but do not retreat, it’s time to just do better then you did before. Remember in this scripture this is Paul speaking, who when he was Saul sent Christians to their death. What if Paul retreated and came under condemnation when he though about the things he used to do, do you think he would have gone on to do all of the awesome things he did? Probably not, because condemnation would have bound him. So I say release yourself of the past, even if it was a week ago, keep looking forward, remember only allow those things to help you reflect, and never allow them to make you retreat. God bless!
