thankful thursday.

Usually my Thankful Thursday posts include a list of things I’m thankful for, but today I wanted to share just one thing.

I saw this quote the other day, and I couldn’t get it off my mind.

I guess it struck a chord so deeply within me because it just made me…well, thankful! I’m thankful that all of my mistakes, flaws, and shortcomings have been forgiven, forgotten, and I’m left with a clean slate and a God who loves me unconditionally. I can’t wrap my mind around it!

I do sometimes struggle with looking to past experiences and wishing I would have done things differently. Sure, it’s good to learn from the past, but I refuse to let it define me.

The future is what’s worth focusing on…especially because the future is now. And that’s exciting.

“Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See, (God is) doing a new thing!” Isaiah 43:18-19

“Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come.” 2 Corinthians 5:17
