“No, dear brothers and sisters, I have not achieved it, but I focus on this one thing: Forgetting the past and looking forward to what lies ahead,”
Philippians 3:13 NLT
Today is a brand new day! Do you know how powerful that statement is? You woke up today and realized it was a new day because if nothing else, the calendar told you so. But not only did the date on the calendar change, you have been granted another opportunity to change the course of your life.
Today you are granted a clean slate. The mistakes you made yesterday can be corrected today. The pain you felt yesterday can be eased today. The sadness you felt yesterday can be healed today. The business you didn’t start yesterday can be started today. The relationship you didn’t mend yesterday can be mended today.
It is in your control to make today better than yesterday was. It all starts with your mind. You have to start the day telling yourself this day that God has blessed you with will be better. You can’t go back and redo yesterday but you can improve upon it. You can love more today. You can have a better attitude today. You can give more today. You can live more today.
You are shaped in some way by what you did yesterday but it doesn’t have to determine how your today will be. Yes, you should learn from the mistakes and successes of yesterday but don’t continue to live them today. Embrace the fact you can improve upon them and make today much better.
Before you know it, today will be yesterday and tomorrow will be today with another clean slate for you!
Truth In Love! ~ Chuck
