Stop looking behind you, sweet friend.

Stop looking back to all of the mistakes you made in the past.

Stop looking at all the things you wish you could have changed.

Stop replaying past situations in your mind with regret and sorrow.

Stop striving so hard.

The old you is gone, dear one.

Let her go.

She was nailed to the cross on that day at Calvary.

All of your sins and mistakes were left there that day.

They were paid for, it is finished.

Keep your eyes ahead on the new creation you are becoming.

Take a hold of your new self and start walking in it.

Embrace the new you.Call yourself by your new name.

Declare that you are a new creation in Christ and the old you is gone.

Keep your head up, sweet one.

Keep running your race and watch as God transforms you into your new identity.

Allow Him to peel layers away, exposing more of who you truly are.

Watch as your new self emerges more beautiful than you could have ever imagined.

Let our beautiful God mold you and shape you into who He has called you to be. Don’t even glance back, sweet sister…the old you is already gone.
