"Do not think about the past. Look at the new thing I am going to do." Isaiah 43:18-19 NCV
It's time to get back in touch with who you really are and your God-given gifts. This may mean confronting certain things you may dislike about yourself and your present situation. Beginning the process is the most difficult part. One approach to do that is to strop seeing yourself is one of the first things that disappears when life gets hard, when you get stuck in sickness or debt or unhappiness. So, get back in touch with that vision! And where you see a disconnection between who you are and how you are currently living, drop the blame and self-accusation for getting off track. Once you do, you will start to detect that what's inside you is now outside as well showing in your life. Who you are behind closed doors develops into who you are everywhere. Let yourself see yourself as fresh and new, willing to begin again. Start taking one step at a time. When you see yourself the way God does, you see yourself standing up to say, "I am here and ready to use my gifts to live the life I was intended for!" That puts you in agreement with God who says: "Forget what happened before, and do not think about the past. Look at the new thing I am going to do. It is already happening. Don't you see it? I will make a road in the desert and rivers in the dry land."
