My past got into my eyes!
Raju was playing cricket and he decided to narrate the story of his failure to Roma, his friend. He starts with, everything was going well, I was playing well but all of a sudden the ball came towards me for an easiest catch. I was almost done but at the moment my past got into my eyes and I failed.
The greatest pain anything can give us is our past, nothing can hurt deeper than our past. There is no room to hide from the guilt we know we have done. Every now and then it struck into our neck as the fish bone. We want to get rid of it but it continues to live with us and destroy our pleasant future.
Let us turn to our Bible and see how Jesus dealt with this issue.
Jesus was born with a terrible stigma. His mother, Marry was pregnant with Him before she ever married Joseph, she betrothed. The Bible says that they had not a sexual relationship, but "that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost" ( Matthew 1:20)
Only two people in the world knew that Mary was a virgin: God and Mary.
Undoubtedly, hundreds of people mocked and sneered at Joseph for marrying Mary.
Jesus grew up with this. He stepped out of a cesspool of human scorn. He clawed His way out of a pit of questions. He ignored the slanderous remarks. He knew the truth. He knew who He was and what He was about. It did not matter that others did not believe. He chose to chart His own course. The opinions of others did not matter.
Jesus never looked back. He never discussed the situation with anyone. There is not a single scripture in the entire Bible where He ever brought up His background or His limitations.
You too can move beyond the scars of yesterday. Stop talking about your limited education. Quit complaining that everyone in your family is poor. Stop repeating stories of those who failed you. Stop pointing your finger at the economy.
Stop advertising your pain. Stop meditating on your flaws. Everyone has limitations. Each of us is handicapped in some way: Physically, Emotionally, Mentally, Spiritually.
Concentrate on your future
