All of us have a past. Often our pasts include experiences and behaviors that we are not proud of in the face and
presence of God. What we do know is that through His forgiveness, God can take our past and make it a testimony for what He can do in each of our lives. We become walking and
talking examples of what God can do in each person when we turn our lives over to Him and allow Jesus Christ to become Lord of all! Our past and our new life in Jesus Christ become
our banner to those who are seeking Christ and even to those who are not seeking Him but find Him through our testimony. We are His examples of what happens to those who let go
of the past and move forward into the new life that only Jesus can give. We can better serve the Body of Christ when we live to exhort Him. We are to rejoice in everything, giving
continuous praise and thanksgiving for all that God does in us, through us and for us.
