Memories can deter us or serve us

Monday’s Message

When a certain scent
Takes you back
To a former place
A familiar time
Do you reminisce
Or do you cringe?
 
Wiping your hands
Hoping to forget
Or maybe you think
This is it
Take me back
To this paradise within
 
And that’s the beauty
of being human
Memories that shape us
Thoughts and places
That claim us
Taint us
 
But we have this power within
To rearrange the paint brush
Filling our cracked canvas
With steaks of gold
Like a desert of dust
With rivers of old
 
Now living with mighty rivers that flow
For this, I do know
Our memories can serve us
Or turn us
But it is up to us
To give full trust
 
Knowing the One who created us
Can change us
With one small stroke of His master brush
Filling us up with love
and our hearts once dried up
Quickly melt into mud
Ready to be molded
By the Potter who holds us
Throw us into the furnace
Where the fire does not burn us
Beholding our new surface
Tried and true
With the mark of His golden hue
 
“That ye put off concerning the former conversation the old man,
Which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts; and be renewed in the spirit of your mind;
And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness”
Ephesians 4:22-23
 
“Remember ye not the former things, neither consider the things of old.
Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it?
I will even make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert.”
- Isaiah 43:18-19
