This song, just describes what I am realizing perfectly.
History (Matthew West)
Well It's been a bad day
You've been looking back
And all you can see is everything you wish you could take back
All your mistakes
A world of regrets
All of those moments you would rather forget
I know it's hard to believe Let me refresh your memory
CHORUS
Yesterday is history And history is miles away
So, leave it all behind you
But let it always remind you of the day
The day that love made history
You know you can't stay right where you fell
The hardest part is forgiving yourself
But let's take a walk into today
And don't let your past get in the way
Would you believe that you are history in the making, in the making?
Every choice that you are making
Every step that you are taking
Every chain that you are breaking
History is in the making
Every word that you are saying
Every prayer that you are praying
Every chain that you are breaking
History is in the making
History is in the making
History is in the making
This song, is perfect for forgiveness, and moving on. We are human, and we are SOO gonna make mistakes. But look at what the song is saying, YESTERDAY, IS HISTORY. and HISTORY, IS MILES AWAY. so, LEAVE IT ALL BEHIND YOU. This part in itself, is saying "don't hinder what the Lord can do through you by worrying about your sin!" move on. it's all behind you. the Bible says our past, present, and future sin has been forgiven. so it's now up to you, to move on.
LEAVE IT ALL BEHIND YOU, BUT LET IT ALWAYS REMIND YOU OF THE DAY, THE DAY THAT LOVE MADE HISTORY. This is my favorite part, because although you have been forgiven, you can't forget the sin or else it will keep coming back. You have to take charge, and use it as a REMINDER of what His grace and His sacrifice has given you.
First accept the sacrifice, then remember it, now GO.
The last part
Every choice that you are making - Make choices that honor Him, and you will be rewarded.
Every step that you are taking - Your actions speak way louder then words.
Every chain that you are breaking - Your forgiveness and ability to overcome (through Him), is inspiration to many others.
History is in the making - Remember, your MAKING HISTORY.
So I leave you with this, is the history you are NOW making, gonna be one to remember? Or a regretful, dark path? Because the truth is, you have the POWER in you through Him to forgive the past, walk in the present, and create amazing history for the future.

Oh, that's so good! I'm trying my very hardest (and i mean everything inside of me) to leave a positive and uplifting path of history! Sometimes, I'm not so successful, but i'm learning how to move past and forgive myself.
