Whenever change has made its presence known you will always have those that are all too willing to remind you of how things were prior to your change. That is nothing more than an infiltration of the manifestation of the presence of change in your Life, that is doing its best rendition of trying to make "history repeat itself."
If you are not careful, you will wind up reliving your past mistakes and regrets, allowing those past feelings to creep back into your Life, pulling off a great caper of your happiness and joy, even though you have effectively moved on from those mistakes and regrets.
You will then start to re-punish yourself for the things that you have already been Forgiven for. Your thoughts, your mood, your habits, and your actions will all present themselves in the same shadows of the past that you have already overcome.
The Victory of Christ means that we cannot lose! That defeated mentality will not garner you another victory in lieu of the Victory that you are already in receipt of. We need not another, when Christ already has it covered!
Encourage yourself by reminding yourself that you have already been Forgiven! We ALL make mistakes and will continue to do so. Do not beat yourself up over your mistakes. Trust that you are not alone when it comes to making them. And if someone has a problem with your ability to move on from your past, then grant yourself permission to move on from them! You do not need their dirty reminders when God has already wiped your slate clean. The Blessing will always be within the lesson.
So, when those reminders come your way, and they will, proclaim it out loud, "God Has Already Forgiven Me, So Why Am I Trippin'?"
God, Love, and Smile Always!
