Week 110: Recycled Garbage



                                               Recycled Garbage  
   Daughter, thy faith hath made thee whole; go in peace, and be whole of thy plague. Mark 5:34

• Decayed. . .
• Decomposed. . .
• Deteriorated. . .

          Recycling your garbage for the sake of saving the planet’s resources is a good thing. However, when you recycle old hurting, depressing, disheartening thoughts from your past, the one’s you can’t do anything about, that’s a whole different story. Its strong stinky odor, should tell you—
                                    Don’t recycle that garbage—AGAIN!

           Just the other day, I was in a down depressed mood. I couldn’t understand why. Then I figured out what the problem was; I was feeling down over something that I did thirty years ago. A ridiculous waste of time.

I already learned my lesson from it. So, why keep it hanging around in my mind? God let me know that it was an evil spirit trying to weigh me down, and keep me trapped.
                   It’s hard to make yourself do anything uplifting
                             when you lug around old past hurts.    

        We do it to ourselves when we allow our minds to recycle our old wrongdoings, errors, and faults. That type of rubbish will never be refurbished into anything good. We have to have enough faith to know that God has forgiven us, and move on.

It says in II Corinthians 5:17, “Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.”

We can’t experience the new if we are shackled to old stinking garbage!
