Leaving the Past Behind Me

We all have a past. We've all made mistakes. But why is it so hard to forgive ourselves for the bad choices we've made before. Life's ups and downs come and go, but without them how can we grow? I may not be the girl I used to be because life's trials has taken a tole on me. I've wondered off the path and by God's grace was lead back home. I am far from perfect but by the time I'm through I plan to be better than I ever was before.
"The past is to be learned from but not lived in. We look back to claim the embers from glowing experiences but not the ashes. And when we have learned what we need to learn and have brought with us the best that we have experienced then we look ahead and remember that faith is always pointed toward the future."-Jeffery R Holland
