When You Can’t Stop Looking Back, Remember Where God Is Leading You

Updated

You don’t have to stop missing what was to begin trusting what God is leading you toward.

You: I keep thinking about what I lost.

God: I keep thinking about what I’m leading you toward.

You’re grieving a chapter I’ve already closed

Jacqueline Whitney

You: It’s hard not to look back.

God: I know. But you keep replaying the ending of a story I’ve already moved past. You’re grieving a chapter I’ve already closed.

You: I don’t know how to stop.

God: You don’t have to stop grieving. Just stop staying there. Every time you catch yourself looking back, look forward. Even for a second. That’s how you retrain yourself.

You: What if what’s next isn’t as good?

God: It’s better. I don’t lead you toward less. I lead you toward more. What I’m bringing is a version of your life you couldn’t have engineered on your own. Keep your eyes forward. What’s behind you can’t compare to what’s ahead.

Jacqueline Whitney is the author Held: A 50 Day Devotional For Parents and All That You Deserve.
