Remember

God has been placing the word "REMEMBER" on my heart lately. It isn't always easy to think about the past, but that is exactly what God has been calling me to do. God has been calling me to dig up the exact things that I have chosen to forget.

For the past few years I have been seeking God and His will for my life with all that I am. What God is showing me is that no matter how much I grow in the Lord I need to remember where I used to be. I need to remember the hurt, the emptiness, the hopelessness, the longing for something more. I need to remember times like being lukewarm and stagnant in my walk. God is showing me that I have nothing to be ashamed of. The person that God wants me to remember is who I was, not who I am.

There are people in the world today in the exact place or situation that I came out of. God loves those people too. He wants those people to take hold of eternity just like so many others have.

It is time to REMEMBER what we have chosen to forget.
