We all do it, we look back and think of the "good old days". Memories of past times that are far enough in the past that all we remember are the good, fun parts. We gloss over the hard times, even looking at them as better than they really were. These last few months I have done this alot, looked back at the past and thought things wern't really that bad, certainly not compared to what I have been going through. I've even thought, that if I could just go back and "fix" the actions that led to my current predicament, that would be so great. But would it really? In the natural it would be, but what would I have to sacrifice to do that? My salvation, that's what I would be giving up. When I hit rock bottom, I finally turned to God, finally repented and welcomed Jesus into my heart. To go back and "fix" things would undo that and I don't know if I would have ever come to God on my own. So, now when those thoughts enter my mind, I rebuke them right then and think of what I have gained through Christ and I praise God.
The past is best left right where it is, in the past.
