If you keep on looking at the rear view mirror every time you want to drive forward, you will cause as accident. Its purpose is to make you gauge how much progress you are making in your journey forward. So how do you deal with the past? First you have to put it in the open. Whatever you have to do to expose it, just do it. Sometimes the issue is quite ugly and hurting. You need the help of someone else to deal with it. This way you find love and lasting bonds.

Do not fear to let God know of what you are dealing with. He already knows about it but wants you to tell him anyway. Just go to him and pour your heart out. The next thing is to make a lasting solution to make to deal with the issue. This means to let the issue remain in the past. This cannot happen overnight but with the right attitude and God's help, its doable. Dealing with the past issues gives God a chance to work in us and live a purposeful life in Jesus Christ.
