Do Not Dwell on the Past

Some days I get sad when I think about all the people that were in my life that don't talk to me anymore. Most of them were family, some were friends. It can be hard to know I’ve had relationships with these people at one point and now it just feels like we are strangers.

I know some I’ve had problems with and some we just went our separate ways, but it still seems sad to me. I know life gets busy, we move on and I can understand that happening with friends, but when it comes to family it breaks my heart because to me family means forever. Unfortunately, forgiveness and restoration don't exist in my family.

On days like this when I get sad, God always finds a way to send me reminders about how it's ok and not to worry. Just as I was thinking about the relationships I once had, this scripture pops up. I needed to see this and God knew I needed to be reminded. Do not dwell on the past!
