Blank Page

Our new motto for LifeQuest Church is “Where the past doesn’t determine your future”.

So that if any one is in Christ, that one is a new creature; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.  (2Co 5:17)

So many times we look at others and instead of seeing the new creation we still see what the person used to be.  We see the alcoholic, the druggie, the sex addict, the addictions they had, the liar, etc…    Even when we look at ourselves we do this – we think about how we can’t do something because of our imagined limitations or we worry about what others will think of us.

But God doesn’t care about any of that, the past that is. I think he does care that we still see ourselves and others as we used to be.  God doesn’t care about our past – I don’t think that God even remembers what we were,not that he can’t remember but he chooses to remember and see us as he has made us to be and not to see us as we were.

Our future is a blank page that we can write. Our past decisions don’t decide what goes on that page. our old addictions don’t decide, the dependencies we had don’t decide.  Our walk with Jesus will help us write what goes on that page and it may contain a future that you can’t even imagine right now.
