Starting today, I need to release the past. Appreciate and live in the present with an awareness that God loves me and is with me.  From this place of peace and security, anticipate with joy what lies ahead.

The pain of the past robs the present.  The only thing you have is right now.  Don’t let the anxiety of the future and the shame of the past rob the present.  Live fully alive in the now, enjoying the relationships and life God has given you.
