No Limits... No Boundaries... Stretch forth... Break forth

Isaiah 54:4-5
“Fear not, for you will not be put to shame; And do not feel humiliated, for you will not be disgraced; But you will forget the shame of your youth, And the reproach of your widowhood you will remember no more.

“For your husband is your Maker, Whose name is the LORD of hosts; And your Redeemer is the Holy One of Israel, Who is called the God of all the earth.

I thank God for brand new mercies. God gives us another chance to fulfill his will each day that we rise. How glorious it is to know, that your past is in the past. No need to cry over it. No need to dwell on it. You can let it go and start a fresh.

Yes, others may try to remind you of it. Others may struggle with forgetting it but, you have an opportunity to say that's not me, it won't be me, and I am free to breakforth and stretchforth to a greater reality.

How is this possible?

First, when we accept Christ,the word says "Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creature; the old things passed away; behold, all things have become new(2 Cor 5:17). Christ has made you clean by shedding his blood for you on Calvary. So, God sees no fault in you.

Secondly, hold your head up high, Jesus said in John 8:7 "...He
that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her..." Yes you may have been a wretched individual. You may have been a lying, backstabbing and conniving person. Maybe your past holds adultery and fornication. Maybe you abused your body, the temple of God, with drugs and liquor. Or perhaps you simply, sin by never worshipping God... Yes, for all you kind hearted people, not praising God is a sin. Nevertheless, we all have sinned in some way and fallen short of God's glory. So hold your head up and know that anyone pointing a finger at you needs to examine themselves. For they are no better than you.

Lastly, the Lord is on your side. That is no small statement. He is the Lord God, strong and mighty. Mighty in battle. He is the maker of Heaven and Earth. He is your keeper. He is your provider. God is the glory and lifter of your head. He is your redeemer. And if you trust Him, he will never let you fall.

Stay strong and remember. No limits. No Boundaries. Stretch forth. Break forth. For you have been released from your past and you are positioned to catapult into your future.
