“Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland.
Isaiah 43:18-19 NIV
https://bible.com/bible/111/isa.43.18-19.NIV
As I read and reflected on this verse, I realised that many of us are wounded but have become numb because we are used to carrying the wounds with us. They have become ours yet there is another way to live life.
We can face our pains, name them, see the impact they have had and have on us and those around us and then surrender them to God. Then experience the new dawn. Yes the scar will be there but will be faced with courage and reminder that it once hurt but not anymore.
So you may be hurt or wounded by issues in life. But this verse says that it is possible to forget with God's help and focus on the new thing He is doing. May we forge ahead past our wounds this year.
