The Lord instructed Lot to flee Sodom and Gomorrah, as they where leaving Lots wife turned back to look at the city she was leaving behind. Because she looked back the Lord turned her into salt. But the most important part is that it wasn't just because she looked back, in her heart she longed to go back. She wasn't willing to follow the Lord and her desires where more important than her Heavenly Fathers.
We are living in the present and preparing for the future. We cannot sit on both sides of the fence, we have to choose the Lords way or the adversaries way. Focusing on the future helps to strengthen our faith and trust in our Father in Heaven. Fear will always keep us from progression, and our purpose here is to progress to return home.
Philippians Ch. 3:13-14
Paul is a great example of faith and moving forward.
If something has been buried in the past, leave it buried. Don't be tied to mistakes, your own and others. It will only cause more frustration and despair. It is required for us to forgive others, even ourselves! Do not dwell on your mistakes, Christ has forgiven you, now you need to forgive yourself. Accept his loving gift to you, know that you are not perfect and you will make mistakes.
Let go of the past, enjoy the present and have hopes and dreams for the future!
