The Show Must Go On

I love my Tuesday mornings because this is my time to blog. On my way to the office this morning, the following words kept ringing in my ears "The Show Must Go On."  I googled this phrase and didn't realize that it is a title of a song sung by the band Queen and is the final track on their album Innuendo in 1991. But I will not be writing about this song or this band.

The Show Must Go On

No matter who you are... what social status you have or educational qualifications you have achieved or not achieved, or what position you hold in a company or organisation, we all have a past. Our past, be it good or bad, has shaped, influenced and defined who we are today. The important question to ask is, "do you want all the negative, shameful and regretful things in your past to continue to define you or hold you back in all the dreams and visions you have for your life?".

Make a decision today to be free from your past that has negatively influenced you. It is a choice you have to make. Choose today to walk away and not let the claws of your past define, influence or hold you back in who you are today and the future you desire.  

The following passages of scripture will help you move forward. 

1 John 1:9 

"If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness."

Come before Jesus and confess your sins. His promise as written in this passage of scripture is that He is faithful and just, to forgive you and to cleanse you.  Jesus makes you 'clean' in every area of your life.

This is an exciting promise of God! This is for you. 

Psalm 51:7 

"Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean; wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow."

Wow, 'whiter than snow'? How can that be? Snow is so white. Lets take a look at how snowflakes are formed. A snowflake begins to form when an extremely cold water droplet freezes onto a pollen or dust particle in the sky. When Jesus washes us 'whiter than snow', He actually removes even the pollen or dust particle from the snowflake. Jesus truly cleanses, forgives and makes us righteous in His sight. 

The Show Must Go On....
Accept and believe the promise of God. Now let go of your past and don't let it define and influence your future. You are forgiven, set free and Jesus has washed you whiter than snow. Start living... start enjoying... start pressing into your God-given purpose and destiny upon your life. Have fun and enjoy every minute of every day. Start living life to the full. It is a decision you have to make. Make it today. Your life will change. 

Philippians 3:13,14

"But one thing I do, forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus."

The Show Must Go On.... start living and enjoying life again.
