Friday, May 28, Memories

From what I understand our mind remembers everything we see, say and do. Rather an awesome thing when I consider my almost 60 years of memories. Why is it that the ones I don't want to remember seem to be the easiest to recall. I have let memories from the past dictate how I was reacting to others and it cost me dearly. Good and bad memories should help me to make better decisions today. They should be used as a reference for today's experiences. God can use these for direction in my life. I try to turn them all over to Him. Only God can redeem the past and turn it into good for today. It is so important for me to communicate with Him daily so I can open my mind to His direction for today. The more good memories I can create, the stronger I become in Him.
