      Many Christians are ashamed of their past. They seek to hide it from everyone. They want people to think that they are
perfect and have always been perfect. The problem with this way of thinking and behaving is that it is a lie! People who think
they can hide their past or want to hide their past are frauds! We know what God thinks about lying, don’t we? God does not
ask us to hide our past. In fact, God wants us to share our past because our pasts are actually testimonies on what God can
do. That is right; your past is your testimony on what God has done and is doing in your life. As Christians our job is to share
our testimony with all who God places in our path, in our lives. Your testimony will be a light for others to see God’s work in you
and for them to know that God can do the same miraculous work in their lives. In other words, God uses your past for His great
plan. Your past will lead people to accept Christ and fulfill God’s perfect plan in their lives.
