Psalm 30:18 “Forget the former things, do not dwell on the past. See I am doing a new thing, now it springs up and do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the desert and streams in the waste land”

There are times in our lives when we must stop dwelling on the past and simply move on.
For me I have had hopes of friendships or potential relationships that have gone so far and then suddenly ended.

Such times are hurtful and painful and the pain keeps coming back because I dwell on the past, I keep thinking about this person, thinking of how nice they seemed and what I could have had and yet seemed to have lost.
God says look that person wasn’t the one, I know you hurt but its time to move on and stop thinking and mulling over about this person.

The former things are now PAST it is time to look to the future for NEW and yes even BETTER things because God is always looking out for our best.
Paul says also in Philippians 3:13 “One thing I do, I put the PAST BEHIND me and move forward”

It hurts and we tend to keep putting our tongue in the hole where the tooth was (if you know what I mean) but its no good MOVE on.

Once we as it were say “God you know best, you know I hurt real bad, I so liked that person, but I want what you want not my choice but yours” then we will start to be healed and God our Father will put a NEW JOY and hope into our hearts. A hope of even better things to come.

When the time does come we shall have no regrets about letting go this other person.
