Topic:
Going Back To The Way Things Were
You may want to go back. You may want to go back to an earlier time
when things were better, or easier, or grander than the way things are
now. However, you are changed every day. You get better or worse every
day. You are not who you were before. You are different. If you could go
back, if you could go back and stand where you stood before, things
would not be like they were then because you have changed. Our walk
through life is determined not by how much we look back, but how much we
look forward. Indeed, we can learn from the past by looking back, but we
can learn from looking back only if we look back to learn. Yearning to
return to where we were can use up too much of our soul. Yearning to go
back to another time takes too much of the time God gives us to glorify
Him. We tend to forget the darkness of the past. We tend to remember
only the best and forget the worst. You do not want to really go back
because if you went back, you would have to live through the dark times
a second time which God does not want you to have to do.
