PAST GLORIES WILL NOT SAVE US
For God, it does not matter what you were yesterday. For God, there is no yesterday. He looks at you today and he takes you for what he sees. If you were very good in the past, but you are no more, God will not see or remember that goodness that has gone. Today, he finds evil in you and he will judge you for that. If you have changed for good, God sees that good in you today.
Our past is part of our lives and it brought us where we are today. We come from there, but we are no more there; we have moved and we are somewhere else. The glories of the past are useless, if we don’t pursue them today. There are some people who spend their time thinking about the past. We must look forward not backward. Salvation is in front, in the coming future, and we have to move towards it. We should not live in the past. There is a Bemba proverb that says going back will eat you (ulubwelela numa lulalya).
