Remember this...

 

I actually used this poetry to compose a paper for an Organization Behavior course.

WORD FOR THE WEEK

It's been so long.. so so long...

I almost feel like I shouldn't be typing :) Well that's not going to happen. Just wanted to spread a little light in your week.

Some of us have had major successes in the past; some have experienced breakthroughs and windfalls. In the same vein, a few others may have experienced disappointments, hurts, pains and setbacks. Guess what? We all are here! We have all had a fair share of life.

Today, the successes, failures or disappointments are all in the PAST. A full stop at the end of any sentence indicates that the sentence has ended; it’s not going to be continued. God has put a full stop at the end of yesterday; it’s gone, never to be repeated. You have today right here and tomorrow ahead of you; perhaps within your control. The choices you make TODAY will determine the SUCCESS or FAILURE of your tomorrow. It’s right in your hands!

There is a process to our progress in life. Apostle Paul, in our text says the process of taking hold of the future starts by first forgetting the past. In his case he had successes in his immediate past after accepting Christ, but he reckoned that greater things lie ahead and declares with authority that one thing he does, is to delete the past from his memory; this enables him grab the greater things that lie ahead of him. You have not seen your best days yet. Your best is yet to come. This is the least you will ever achieve in life because greater things are ahead of you.

You may have made the wrong decisions in the past that makes you feel rejected and dejected; life may just have been unfair to you or people might have mistreated you. It’s in the past, leave it there, don’t carry it into your future; it’s not useful there. God has put a full stop to it. Take up your baggage and move on. There is a lot more in store for you ahead. You are more than this.

 

“Do not remember the former things, nor consider the things of old, behold I will do a new thing, now it shall spring forth; shall you not know it? I will even make a road in the wilderness and rivers in the dessert” Isaiah 43v18. God has put a full stop on your yesterday. A new sentence; a new page has been opened before you; write on it, you can make history. There are no limits in God. There is no failure in God. Your best is here!


HAVE A BLESSED WEEK AHEAD!!!
