Stop Worrying! God Will Fix lt For You ( 14 of 15 )
Tip 14. Forget the past…
Being stuck in the past is stressful, because everyday is a constant reminder that we’re failing or not living up to whatever impossible standard we’ve set for ourselves. This can go both ways – distress over not being able to relive our glory days, or discouragement over past failures that we just can’t shake.
¹² I don’t mean that I am exactly what God wants me to be. I have not yet reached that goal. But I continue trying to reach it and make it mine. That’s what Christ Jesus wants me to do. It is the reason he made me his.
¹³ Brothers and sisters, I know that I still have a long way to go. But there is one thing I do: I forget what is in the past and try as hard as I can to reach the goal before me. ~ Philippians 3:12-13
Whichever end of the spectrum we find ourselves on, it’s liberating to learn from the scriptures that our story is not over as long as we’re alive. If we grew up experiencing a lot of success, God still wants to develop our character and heart to love others.
If we are hung up over a life that did not go according to plan, we can be assured that we will have opportunities ahead of us to do something amazing for God, no matter how devastating the defeat.

别再忧虑!上帝会为你解决一切(15条建议中的第14条)
建议14:忘记过去……
沉湎于过去会让人倍感压力,因为每一天都在不断提醒我们,我们正在失败,或者没有达到我们自己设定的那些不可能达到的标准。这可能带来双重困扰——一方面是无法重温昔日荣光的痛苦,另一方面是无法摆脱的过往失败带来的沮丧。
¹² 我并不是说我已经完全达到了上帝对我的期望。我还没有达到那个目标。但我会继续努力,争取实现它。这是基督耶稣希望我做的。这也是他拣选我的原因。
¹³ 弟兄姊妹们,我知道我还有很长的路要走。但我有一件事在做:那就是忘记过去,竭尽全力去实现眼前的目标。 腓立比书 3:12-13
无论我们身处何种境地,从圣经中得知只要我们活着,我们的故事就远未结束,这都是一种解脱。即便我们成长过程中经历了许多成功,上帝仍然渴望塑造我们的品格,培养我们爱人的心。
即便我们为未能按计划进行的人生而耿耿于怀,我们仍然可以确信,无论失败多么惨痛,我们未来都有机会为上帝成就非凡之事。
