Bebe's interpretation
One of the most difficult things to do as people is to forget the past, especially the unpleasant things we've experienced. We spend most of our time sitting and ruminating on lost opportunities, broken relationships, past mistakes and actions, and inactions that have caused us embarrassment, pain, and regret. Therefore, our hearts experience fresh pain over and over again from incidents that happened a few days, weeks, months, or even years ago. Our eyes become blind to the present blessings, grace, and opportunities God has prepared and put before us. The burden of the past becomes heavy on us, limiting our progress, wearing us out, and stealing our joy.
God's Word tells you today to forget the past. He wants you to shift your gaze away from your worries and unpleasant experiences and focus on Him alone. He says His mercies are new every morning and His compassion never fails. He has prepared new doors of opportunities before you that will restore your joy, peace of mind, and all the years the cankerworm has eaten. However, you must be intentional about shutting the door of your heart and memory against the weight of the past that is not serving you in the present and will hinder your future. Create room for newness in your heart.
God is doing a new thing in your life; embrace it.
