And that’s okay. 

It’s been said that all saints have a past, and all sinners have a future. What an encouraging thought! There is no need for us to dwell on the mistakes or poor decisions of our past. Every moment wasted regretting our past inhibits us from moving forward and embracing the opportunities of our future.

I find tremendous solace in the hopeful words of C.S. Lewis. He wrote, “There are far, far better things ahead than any we leave behind.”
