James 3:2 (NKJV) 2 For we all stumble in many things. If anyone does not stumble in word, he is a perfect man, able also to bridle the whole body.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

As\u00a0a\u00a0young\u00a0child, I remember following my older siblings one day to an apple tree that belonged to our neighbor.<\/p>\n

They helped me up into the tree and had me pick the apples and toss them down to them. It was fun and I was enjoying it!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Then I heard them yell, \u201cquick, they’re home. Run!\u201d.\u00a0 But, they forgot one thing; ME! They left me in the tree.<\/p>\n

The owner came to the tree and\u00a0there I was, sitting in the tree, not knowing what was wrong. I just thought we were picking apples for Mom\u2019s apple pie and that everything was happy and good.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

They got me down from the tree and took me to my parents. Standing in front of my parents, I\u00a0had to explain what I was doing in their tree.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

I was sad after I learned what I was\u00a0actually\u00a0doing.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

These are the\u00a0consequences\u00a0of\u00a0following without understanding the how and why of it all. I was only\u00a0little, but no matter the age, no matter the\u00a0innocence,\u00a0if we get caught up in the wrong place doing the wrong thing,\u00a0there will be repercussions. Sometimes it can leave a scar.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

There have been other times\u00a0throughout\u00a0my life when I blindly and innocently followed or got involved in things that I wished I hadn\u2019t.<\/p>\n

But, to hold onto those things as if they had just recently happened would be hurting and punishing me even more.<\/p>\n

How do we change the past? How do we erase those things that came upon us innocently or unknowingly?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

We\u00a0cannot\u00a0change\u00a0the past. We can\u2019t even change the future if we continue to wallow in the things that happened to us in the past.<\/p>\n

We can only change\u00a0today by taking that first\u00a0step and letting the past be the past, and the future be the future.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

We can’t be so hard on ourselves. Today is a new day. God wants to heal us.<\/p>\n

Let go of what\u00a0happened in the past and move on. Learn from it and try not to fall back into the same thing again. Take it one day at a time.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
