What part of your life are you trying to control instead of letting God have control? What sin are you holding on to? What addiction are you unwilling to give up? What person have you chosen not to forgive? What part of the Bible are you waiting for God to change His mind about because you don’t happen to agree with it?

Learn from the past but don’t let the past define you! You have the ability to decide to leave the past behind once you make up your mind. There is enough pain in life without one dragging all the pain of the past into one’s future. Release the past so the past can release you!
As a parent, have you ever responded to one of your children to something you saw them do and ask, “What were you thinking?” If we were to pause for just a moment and look back at our life, I am sure there was someone that thought that same thing of us in some of our decisions. And looking back, our decision doesn’t even make sense to us! “What was I thinking” we ask!
Life has enough unpreventable pain; even if you were to make all the right decisions in life, one is still going to experience some disappointment and pain because some things are going to go wrong (we live in a sin-cursed world).

There is a great misunderstanding that is puzzling: it is the mistaken belief that in order to have more, we must hold on tightly. EX: if we are going to have more money, we must keep more or hold on to it tightly. However, an open hand represents an open spirit; and when we have an open spirit, some of the money in our hands will get away, but when we have a closed hand, nothing can get in. For anything to get in, you must have an open hand.
Some people never see opportunities. Everything is a calamity; everything is an obstacle. For them the days are evil—and that’s why there are no opportunities. In the journey of life, they find excuses instead of opportunities.
There was a time in Jesus’ ministry where when he would travel people would follow him around everywhere, everyone wanted to know who he is.
