Forget Your Past You Have A Glorious Future

Dear ________________,

Have you ever wondered what the future holds for your life? Have you ever questionedÖ

Are things going to get better or worse for me and my family? Could mistakes from my past keep me from succeeding in the future?

How will I ever get past this circumstance Iím going through now?

Is it possible that there are still better days ahead?

Itís natural to ask these questions and others just like them. But I want to share something with you that will give you great hope todayÖ

In Christ, you have been promised a GLORIOUS FUTURE!

Because of the finished work of Jesus, you donít have to be burdened by, or ashamed of, the mistakes of the past; neither do you have to be fearful of, or worried by, the challenges you presently face.

Jesus forgives every sin! Jesus overcomes every obstacle! Jesus promises a glorious future!

Proverbs 4:18 (NIV) says it this way: “The path of the righteous is like the morning sun, shining ever brighter till the full light of day.”

What a powerful promise!

Remember, you are the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus (see 2 Corinthians 5:21). Itís not because of your own works that you are accepted and approved before the Father, but because of the finished work of Jesus. Itís not about what you do or donít doÖitís about what Jesus has already done.

And because of His work in your life, your path forward isnít going to grow darker and darkerÖ

Your path forward is going to shine brighter and brighter.

Beloved, because you have been once and for all sanctified (or cleansed) through the blood of Jesus, you have been set apart.

    Set apart from sickness unto health     Set apart from lack into abundance     Set apart from confusion to wisdom

    Set apart from chaos to peace

The list of Godís goodness and provision in your life goes on and on! Your past cannot derail your future because the blood of Jesus has cleansed you once and for all. You are forever accepted and approved before the Father.

There is no sin, no mistake, no stain that can keep you from your glorious future in Christ Jesus.

Beloved, because of you, the gospel of grace is being broadcast to millions all over the world, and we are able to reach out and love those in need in very practical ways. Thank you for standing with us to make all these possible.

As you go about the rest of your day, remember that you donít have to fear that the months or years to come will be bleak. Jesus has provided everything you will ever need Ö including a glorious future!

Excited about what lies ahead,
