There is nothing new under the sun - these are the words of Solomon in Ecclesiastes and they are so true. We can come up with all sorts of fashionable statements and cool philosophies, but it has all been said before. Take the following words from Anthony the Great, as an example. They were written in the early 4th Century, but they are timeless.
"I no longer fear God, but I love him. For love casts out fear."
"Regret not that which is past."
"What is slander? It is every sort of wicked word we would dare not speak in front of the person whom we are complaining about."
The quote that lives with me today is the 2nd one - "Regret not that which is past!"
We can't take back what has happened in the past, but we can move forward with humility and courage. God doesn't hold onto our past mistakes - He wipes the slate clean and invites us to start all over again. This is the beauty of Grace.
What do you think?
Living in Grace
