When the Past Won’t Let Go
For the person who feels chained to shame and regret.
Some wounds don’t fade — they keep reopening every time you’re reminded of what happened. It’s not just a memory; it’s a shadow that follows you. And when you’ve lived through bad theology, spiritual abuse, or deep betrayal, that shadow can feel like your identity.
Psalm 103:12 — “As far as the east is from the west, so far does He remove our transgressions from us.”
Your past can explain your pain, but it does not define your worth.
In Christ, your past is a testimony, not a prison sentence.
What parts of your past feel “unforgivable” to you?
How have you allowed past wounds to become your name tag?
What would change if you believed God’s verdict over your own feelings?
“Lord, my past feels louder than Your promises. Remind me that my name is ‘Beloved’ and not the mistakes I’ve made or the wounds I carry.”
