I'm not where I need to be, but thank God i'm not where I used to be.

God is the Champion at bringing people from a place of destruction to a place of total victory. As they reach that place of victory they become trophies of his grace. and they are set on the display as a fragrant reminder of God's goodness.

Our past may explain why we're suffering, but we must not use it as an excuse to stay in bondage.

Today is a brand new beginning for me!

I may not be where I need to be but at least I am not where I used to be.

Whoever you are, wherever you are, whatever you've been through, it's never too late to begin again.

The more we focus on who we are in Christ, the less it matters who we were in the past, or even what happened to us.

But as a child of God, there is something especially encouraging you need to remember today: God can do more in one moment than you can do in a lifetime. There is no situation that intimidates Him. There is no mess, no dysfunction, no abuse, no pain that He can't heal. One word from God, one moment in His presence, can change the entire course of your life.

If you accept what people call you, you will start to believe it. Find your identity in Christ, not in what others say.

Knowing who we are in Christ sets us free from the need to impress others.

Do not [earnestly] remember the former things; neither consider the things of old. Behold, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs forth; do you not perceive and know it and will you not give heed to it? I will even make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert. Isaiah 43:18,19

I urge you to stop remembering what God has forgotten.
