The past isn't something we can change or enhance. It cannot be rearranged or made over to better satisfy our current state. I firmly believe that God wants us to put the past to rest—as if it has died and we are burying it. Once a person dies and you bury them, you have no means by which you can bring them back to life. Even in memory, they are still gone. In the same way, the past is still gone, even when you dwell on it.

But this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before.

It was time to lay his painful life upon the altar and let Jesus heal his hurt. It was time to come home.

Everyday God gives us a moment in which it is possible to change everything that makes us unhappy.

Things pass, and the best we can do is to let them really go away. Getting rid of certain memories also means making some room for other memories to take their place.

Stop being yourself and become who u always wanted to be

It's what you do in the present that will redeem the past and thereby change the future.
