How Can You Outrun the Past

How you can outrun the past Sometimes the past chases you. You hear its footsteps in the alleys of your mind. Listen even closer and you'll hear the heartbeat of One who loves you. Instead of behind you, He stands before you, arms open, always saying, "Come to Me. I'm stronger than the past. I'm even more real than those memories. I AM right here, right now, and I will be your future too." All that is behind you fades away and you are safe where you belong. Matthew 11:28-30 28 “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30 For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.”
