As we get older and draw closer to God, we’re often reminded of how much we’ve changed. We remember things people did to hurt us and that we forgave them, and it’s all behind us now. We also remember things we did that hurt others, and though we asked for forgiveness and tried to make it right, the memory of the pain we caused and the tears they shed still haunts us. This is why God told us to give Him all of our burdens—so He can take them and give us His peace. We can’t change the past, but we can pray for the salvation and healing of those we hurt and read our Bibles to fill up with God’s strength and wisdom, so we never do those things again. We can have peace with the past when we live each new day in love, being led by His Spirit and filled with the joy of the Lord.
