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!
