The Past

It appears to me that people nowadays have allowed themselves to be plauged by their pasts regardless of who you are, where you come from, or where you are going, people do things to either hide or accentuate their pasts. While what has happened has happened, you are required to let it go before you can progress personally or professionally. People committ suicide over the past that haunted them for years before finally giving in to their demons. I won't get into the deeper meanings behind that, but I will say that you should never allow your past to define you, or other people that you know. Now in saying that I do open a can of worms because I know some of you who will read this immediately say well what about the churches? Why do they not forget that the past is the past? To those of you who wonder this I say that those indivduals who question whether or not your past really is forgiven is just them doubting the Power of the Blood. But your past is not a thing to dictate or define who you are, although your experiences shape you do not allow them to place limits on what you can do in the future. The past is the past and it's in your past. Leave it there.
