Forgetting the Past


Philippians 3:13 & 14

This one thing I do to forget those things,
That reaches out from behind as it clings;
Those things that are lurking from my past,
With very dark shadows they tend to cast;
I press toward the mark for the jackpot,
Calling God in Christ Jesus in my thought;
Every person in good health and of success,
Must move away from failure to be bless;
Dwelling in the past of mistakes in life,
Only causes you more heartaches and strife;
Moving forward without letting them release,
Cannot or will not ever allow you any peace;
It will burden your mind with excess weight,
Causing you stress and making you irate;
They also tend to cause you to loose sleep,
Trouble that's making you feel like a creep;
The art of forgetting is absolute necessity,
Conquer and rid your life from any iniquity;
Ask God in prayer to forgive and forget,
Then go forward as He clears your debt.
