"Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland." Isaiah 43:18–19 NIV

The experiences of your past have undoubtedly shaped who you are today, but they do not determine your future.?

According to the Bible, if you are a Christian, you have been born again and you are a new creation in Jesus. The apostle Paul writes in 2 Corinthians 5:17, 'Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!'.

This transformation is a fundamental aspect of our faith, and it allow us to start anew with Christ. God encourages us not to focus on the past but to focus on eternity. We are called to live in the present while anticipating the future promised by God. Our past is beyond our control; instead of dwelling on it, we should learn from it and ask God to create something new in us today and for our future.

If you feel stuck and nothing new is happening in your life, praying and asking God to intervene can be your first step. Admit the mistakes you've made and ask God to transform your life. He is ready to give you a fresh start with renewed strength.

Are you ready to turn the page? God is waiting to write a new chapter with you.
