My Past Behind Me

Author Dana Redricks 
September 27, 2024

With my past behind me, and the shadows that they cast. Although I've had the feelings of rejection I was covered in God's protection.

God has given me a new direction. When my past comes knocking at my door and reminds me of the hurtful things they often bring. With the feelings of being violated and the innocent that was robbed from me. 

God has reminded me that I have been set free. My eyes have been opened and now I can see how beautiful life can be. Although my life has been filled with pain, and the heartaches that it often brings. 

God has given me a new song, one of deliverance. In the process of searching for someone to accept me, God reminds me that He has always loved me. I am free, I am free 

God knows each tear I've shed the ones seen and unseen. Although I can see my shadows behind me, I see hope, and love before me. Just like a shadow of my past they can't hurt me anymore. God Yahweh has opened the door to healing, and walking in victory. I am finally free from life's pain and misery. God has wiped away the stains of my history.
