Looking to God...

Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble. whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable- if anything is excellent or praiseworthy-think about such things. Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me-put it into practice. And the Lord of peace will be with you.

When we as humans get down on ourselves we think about all the pain we have caused or have had in our lives or we play the blame game with ourselves.  The maybes, if i only, what if, but in all reality how is that gonna help us. How are the maybes, if only and what if going to help, we know they are not but we keep ourselves there beating ourselves up for the changes that we cannot make now but feel we should have made in the past. 
That is not what God want us to do though, he doesn't want us to dwell on the things of the past, the things we could have maybe done differently. Instead he wants us to think about the things these verses say. What true, noble, right, pure , lovely, admirable, anything excellent or praiseworthy. In all honesty those are hard, to think about whatever is  life or mine. Coming from what seems like the lowest of lows and falling into God's open arms is such an amazing feeling. Looking to him for comfort and asking him to help the past stay in the past and not come to the front of the new that I want my life to be. I want to follow God fully putting off the old garbs and putting on fresh new clothes, in other words
