Do you have a past?
My answer is yes. I have a past an unpleasant one at that
(maybe one day God would ask me 2 write about that). We all are different and
we have totally different pasts, some people came to Christ really young and
never get into trouble beyond stealing ten naira from mom's purse. But no
that's not you, that's not your own story you were possibly a drug addict,
prostitute, engaged in sexting, addicted to porn, an armed robber, you've had
numerous abortions, name it you've done it all but somehow u found Christ and
you're wondering what you're to do with your horrible past.
What do you do?
You worship him from it all, and you share his grace that
saved you.
In the Old Testament there are different altars of
remembrance set up as a testimony to what God had done 4 d nation of Israel,
the altar was made as a monument to his grace, goodness and faithfulness.
Has he been good to you? Has he been merciful? Has he shown
you grace?
Think of all your
past sins as big stones and use those stones to build an altar of worship to
God. Don't ignore your past worship him from it. As you walk forward in life,
you can always refer to that place, not as a time to regret or feel guilty and
ashamed again, but as a time of celebration and worship. You can look back at
that altar and how far you've come and say, "This far o God, you've led
me".
