MORNING THOUGHTS ☕️:

“You Can’t Go Back.”

That was my first thought this morning. I don’t know why. But that’s what popped in my head.

Once you’ve changed. Once you’ve encountered. Once you’ve seen. Once you’ve tasted. Once you’ve experienced…back will never be okay again.

Oh, you may want to…be tempted to…even think you’re called to. Go back. But you can’t. You’re not that person anymore. Back there does not exist anymore. You can only move forward now. Forward IS the way.

FORWARD: being in a position of advancement; moving ahead.

I know going back may feel safer at times. It’s what you know. But…you weren’t made for safe. You were made for movement.

Here’s your encouragement from Paul in Philippians 3:

“I may not have it all together or know it all, BUT on thing I DO know … forgetting all those things that are behind and reaching FORWARD to those things which are ahead…I press TOWARD the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.”

Upward. Toward. Forward. You can’t go back.
