LET THE PAST GO.
Tuesday 17th February, 2015
I guess we remember the story of Joseph(the Dreamer) and his 'Charismatic' Brothers.
Joseph could have checked all of these—a background of abuse, social disadvantages, and hopeless situations—and resigned himself to an obscure, tedious life.
Apparently he didn't. He probably couldn't allow himself to.
He was driven by a high calling and a firm belief that God was worthy of his obedience and loyalty, regardless of apparent setbacks.

Most of his brothers wanted him dead, especially after he told them of the dreams of glory God had given him.
Some people wear their offenses on their sleeves for the rest of their lives. They were betrayed or slighted in the past, and they never quite get over it.
They may say they believe in God's sovereignty, but they blame the people who hurt them as if God had abandoned them in their circumstances.
And their lack of mercy does nothing to help them heal from their wounds. In fact, it only deepens them.
No, Joseph wasn't vengeful. He would put his Brothers through series of test, but he was pulling for them to do the right thing. He understood the character and the power of God.
People can change. God can give them a new heart. His glory has the remarkable ability to grow in the soil of tragic, devastating events.
It's time we allow the past Go and enjoy the fullness of life that God has blessed Us with.
