My child, look continually forward to all I have for you.
The past has served its purpose, and I am well able to use the joys and sorrows and pains and delights that you have known, My dear one, to benefit you and establish My will in your life, but only as you release them.
Do not dwell on what is past, for it is gone, and I am in the NOW – therefore abide in Me and hear what I am saying TODAY, for that is how you will have life and receive light.
Do not try to live on the stale crumbs of the past, My precious one, but accept the fresh bread, daily, that I give you to enable you to confront the obstacles and challenges of today. Know the victory I give you over the flesh, the world, and the enemy as I help you drive them out of the land of your life little by little.
You must fight today’s battles, My willing warrior, and not try to relive yesterday’s struggles. Walk with Me in the joy that comes from knowing I am with you all the way, giving you all the land upon which you place your foot as you move forward.
