God's Grace

Your past is not who you are, but its something you've done. When we let our past pain become our present identity we let shame take over. The way to let go of shame is by the Grace of God. He can transform tragedy to triumph. We are forgivable, changeable, capable, moldable, and bound by the limitless love of God. We have to accept what can't be changed but know your future can. Until we accept that the past is passed, we can't make peace with the present or walk into the future with hope. We may always remember what happened, but we need to believe that we are not what happened. We are who God says we are-new creations 2 Corinthians 5:17 " Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come. The old has gone, the new is here!" Just like a broken bone that heals is often strongest at the point of fracture, the same way God can take the shame of past failures and redirect their outcomes toward great future success.
