The past can be a heavy weight to carry. Regrets, hurts, and disappointments can hold us back from experiencing the joy and freedom God has in store. This daily devotional, “God’s Future for You,” for June 8th, explores the power of letting go and embracing God’s will for our future.
Daily Devotional for June 8th
“Brothers, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.” (Philippians 3:13-14)
God’s Future for You
Do you ever find yourself dwelling on the past? Past hurts, missed opportunities, or regrets may keep you from moving forward. The Apostle Paul reminds us that while we can’t erase the past, we can choose to focus on the future God has for us.
Letting go of the past is not about forgetting what happened but about releasing its hold on our hearts and minds. When we hold onto past hurts and disappointments, we give them power over our present and future.
Letting go can be difficult, but it is a necessary step toward true freedom.
By choosing to forgive, trusting in God’s grace, and surrendering our burdens to Him, we can experience the freedom of letting go. This allows us to embrace the present moment with joy and move forward with confidence toward the future God has planned.
