Where's your focus?

Are you spending more time
looking in the rear view mirror
at what you have lost...



...or are you looking at the view
ahead of you and what is
yet to come????

God wants you to let the past go...
He has an amazing view ahead!!!

I've heard it said that there's a reason that our front windshield is so much bigger than our rear view mirror in our car...it's analogous to our lives...isn't it??

I've carried that statement with me all these years and continue to rely on that voice when my focus gets distracted!
Bless you sister...praying for you always,

But that's the sense I got in looking at that picture. And I think I need to spend some more time with this thought.

Love you tons!
Karen

Amen Heaven!

I often say, forward living. As one who has a lot of pain in the past I had to be healed from; I had to train myself in the WORD and through prayer to live in a forward view of my life in Christ.

Great message dear one! Praying for you right now!

It's a good question and a good reminder to always look forward.

Who am I Lord?
