Forgetting what is behind

Paul says that forgetting what is behind, I press on towards the goal marked out for me. At some point he makes sense but if that same past affects every thing that you do; then forgetting makes you change what you have always known as life; what you have always upheld as important and needful to you.
Yet again friend, without forgetting there is no progress
Without leaving there can never be any cleaving,
It may be painful but I wonder! How do you enjoy a ripe fruit when it is still on the tree?
How; friend do I eat a sugarcane when it is still on the ground?
Some cutting off has got to be done…..
Some leaving is necessary…
Yes, a bit of letting go is crucial.

I say this with a lot of care,
Not because I have a feeling you need to forget anything
But because I have had to do some forgetting recently.
It is fresh in my life now and though it feels strange to let go; I am free
Free from having to think about….this…that…..

Is it something that happened in your childhood?
Is it an event that never went well?
Did you lose a loved one?
Is it a betrayal that you went through?
Are they exams that you failed in kindergarten?
Did your mama beat you so bad you have never forgotten?
I really don’t know what it is?
But in you; you are sure you are always affected by one of them


My dear one…..I had to do it.
I realized I couldn’t keep holding them
They were paralyzing me.
I couldn’t see the horizon.

You have some forgetting to do? JUST DO IT.
FORGET.

Now faith......

‘Faith, He says, ‘is substance of things hoped for’

‘Evidence of things not seen,’

It is saying that you have when you can’t even see it

It is; my dear friend, thanking God when you cant even see the signs.

Faith is crazy

It is outrageous,

It is; I tell you, out of this world.

Because in this world, you plan and have the end in mind

You basically look at all the pros and corns

And are almost sure whether it’s gonna work or not

Faith is believing when you don’t know what to do

It is saying, Dad, ‘I can’t figure out what you are saying’

But I’ll do it anyway; coz I trust you.

Faith is having plan A which when it fails; it can only be God

I don’t know how often we trust God that much

I actually don’t know if I trust God myself.

I kinda always want to have a glimpse of the end;

The result expected…….

Today- though now it has to be my every today

I choose to trust in you Lord

Not because I know what you are up to

But because you are God.

If you made the world from nothing and this is what it became

And you ask me to trust you and you will do the rest

Then, I really don’t need evidence yet you still give me.

I trust you Lord.
