Leftovers Again?

Leftovers.....again!!!!! How much of that dish did we make?!!!...
No, this is not about...cousin Harry's triple-fried chicken or our own energy-producing five-bean chili! This addictive leftover is the ultimate classic: Have you ever served yourself rehash of the past?
Somewhere, somehow, someone hurt us and we have kept that wound in our active memory, pressing rewind and play in the theatre of our minds. With each rehearsal, we see it all and feel it all and digest it all over again...
Jesus tells us that this leftover is lethal: "If you do not forgive men their sins, neither will your Father forgive your sins" (Matthew 6:15)...
Forgiving means we stop pressing rewind and play. Forgiving means we refuse to let our minds house the moldy leftovers of other's sins against us.

Have you ever been there, are you there now!??! After reading this during my devotion, I thought of times myself that I hit rewind! You know, it isn't just about people, have you ever picked up that habit again? You know the one, every time you fast, pray, or even go to the alter at Church, you put it down, one more time! I want to challenge us all to absolutely lay it down! Walk away today! Know that in Psalm 121, God tells us He is always awake, knows our coming and going! Do you trust Him to follow you? Do know when you need Him? Do we ask? Trust and obey, there is no other way, to be Happy in Jesus, but to trust and obey!
Love and Peace to you all!
