Time won’t Help you Forget
No matter how long you need to wait, time itself can never help you to move forward. It takes a decision. You need to make a conscious effort so that you can let go of the past. If you remain passive with the things that you’ve been through, then time can’t help you in finding the freedom that you long to experience. It will only magnify the things that are going on inside. If you live with bitterness, then time will reveal to you the real issues of your heart. It won’t solve the root problem. So if you think that things will be better as time goes by without making any changes in your perspective, then you will never receive the future that you’ve been looking for.
Do something about the way you feel. Don’t hide or ignore it because it will greatly affect your future relationships. Ask God for help. You don’t have to carry everything on your own. You can always call upon His name, and He will be in the midst. Maybe you are afraid to face the past because you think that you can’t do it on your own. It’s too painful to the point that you no longer want to bring them back. But you will never experience freedom if you won’t face it. You need to accept and acknowledge the past, no matter how painful it is. You need to go through the process so that the pain will no longer haunt you in the future.
If you experience brokenness from the past, then make a conscious effort to forgive those who hurt you and let go of the bitterness that you feel. It’s not an easy thing to do. In fact, it takes time and a lot of courage. But you won’t receive the great things that God prepared if you will allow the pain to reign. You need to trust God along the process. You can’t really make it on your own. You need the strength of God along the journey. Trust in your creator. He knows that you can do it. Let His love consume your heart, and you will slowly learn to let go of what happened in the past. Allow His grace to push you to release love to those who broke your heart.
Take one step at a time. You don’t have to make things better in an instant. Patiently go through the process. What’s important is that you are making a constant choice to experience complete healing. Don’t just wait and do nothing. Treat every moment as an opportunity for you to become a better person. Don’t allow your life to be fully consumed with bitterness. There’s so much more that God wants you to receive. Just learn to face the things that you used to ignore, and don’t allow fear to dominate your soul. Trust in your loving Father, and He will walk with you along the healing process.
