The Right Direction - Looking Forward

Jude 1:21 – Keep yourselves in the of God, Looking  for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life.(KJV)
  - staying right in the center of God’s love, keeping your arms open and outstretched, ready for the mercy of our Master, Jesus Christ.  This is the life, real life. (Message)

Have you ever tried to walk backwards for any length of time?  It’s not easy, yet there are those who are trying it.
Yes, it is nice to have memories, but you don’t want to get stuck always looking back.  If you do, you cannot  see the road ahead.  Maybe, it’s the fear of what is laying ahead of you, your future is not certain.

Everyone needs something in their lives that helps them focus in looking forward.  One thing that keeps them putting their feet on the floor every morning.  For some it is wealth, others may be family, or the worst, re-payment  to ease the guilt of a past failure.

What is it that keeps you looking forward?

For myself it is first my faith, then my daughter and my grand-children.

Faith is a very positive motivator .  It does not mean pie in the sky, pipe dreams, but something that is achievable at the end of the road.

Many elderly will tell you that what keeps them going is faith that creates a positive outlook on their life.

While looking forward I have learned not to forget the mistakes of the past, so that I don’t stumble with the same.
So, keep looking forward, because faith in Christ will order your foot steps.
