When you are bemoaning the sins in your past and find yourself despairing, turn to the Lord with thanksgiving:
"Thank you Jesus for the gift of time. How wise of you create me in time that I may at every moment have the chance to begin again. You have given me the gift of a past, that I may always commune with you in the present and look to a future full of hope and grace."
Time never stops; it carries us ever forward on our journey to eternal life. Jesus is constantly transforming us. He has given us a past in order to give us a present and future. Do not dwell in the past! He is no longer there, and neither are you. Time carries us closer and closer to our Lord, even when we are trying to run in the other direction!
