Default Face to Face With Our Past

Face to Face With Our Past
by Max Lucado

All of us at one time or another come face to face with our past. And it’s always an awkward encounter. When our sins catch up with us we can do one of two things: run or wrestle.

Many choose to run. They brush it off with a shrug of rationalization. “I was a victim of circumstances.” Or, “It was his fault.” The problem with this escape is it’s no escape at all. It’s only a shallow camouflage.

The best way to deal with our past is to roll up our sleeves, and face it head on. No more buck-passing or scapegoating. No more glossing over or covering up. No more games.

We need a confrontation with our Master, eyeball to eyeball, and be reminded that left alone we fall. If you wonder if you’ve gone too long to change, take courage. No man is too bad for God!

From God Came Near

Heard a story today. At the end of the day, put all your past thoughts, actions, beliefs, awareness, etc. in a shoe box. Tie it up and put it on the shelf. When you get up, you can pick up your past, or face the day open to what God's offers you in today.
