Today I draw the line
Between my past and my future
Burning the cords connected to what’s behind me
Cutting off every memory that haunted me
For years I placed my freedom in the hands of my past
But I am tired of consoling the “old me”
Finally I am taking back the key to unlock the future before me
Today I decided to live free
As my heart wrenches and tears stream down my eyes
I am saying goodbye as I close this chapter in my life
I realize that what is best for me is to leave every part of me
Leaving behind lies and false assumptions
Leaving behind thoughts of bitterness and unforgiveness
Leaving behind the shell of timidity and shedding off fear
Leaving behind forbidden relationships and all it’s memories
Leaving behind who I thought I was going to be
Leaving behind my old ways of doing things
Leaving behind my words of sadness and pity
Leaving behind every offense and pain that held me in slavery
As I locked this door and hand over my keys
Lord, I vow to You to never look back
Today, I take a step forward
Moving forward to my true identity
Moving forward to meditation of powerful thoughts
Moving forward to dwell in places of boldness
Moving forward to release love to enemies and friends
Moving forward to embrace my greatness
Moving forward to adapt to the culture of wisdom
Moving forward to speaking words of life
Moving forward to healing from past wounds
Overwhelmed with feelings of liberation
Covered in joyful bliss as I move on from yesterday
No matter what happens on this journey,
I’ll keep walking forward
This morning, I prayed to God to help me let go of past seasons. Sometimes we can get too wrapped up with the “old” and bypass the “new” in our lives. Moving forward is not “keeping the past”, but “making room for the future”. Let go of the “old You”. One of my favorite scriptures that I want to share is II Corinthians 5:17, “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come:[a] The old has gone, the new is here!“ (NIV)…Happy Friday, my peeps!
