The Dangerous Past

I am reading just now,” It is okay to visit your past, just don’t bring any luggage with you.” Long ago I read the brochure written by an Evangelist with the title,”Leave the past alone.” With other words, don ‘t even go there without luggage.

The old man (not your father) said,” Remembering is not the problem, forgetting is.” The Evangelist Billy Graham visited once a mental institution in England and the head of the institution said to him something like this,” Half of the people in this institution could be released if they would know that they could be forgiven.”

Corrie ten Boom is talking about the ‘No Fishing!’ sign. If the Holy Spirit convicts you about a wrongdoing in the past confess it according to First John 1:9, but don’t go fishing and looking for things.
