There are definitely times in life when the past, the present and the future do seem to collide. We can be bombarded with memories and setbacks all the while struggling just to make it through whatever has occurred in the last few moments of our breathing. Thinking about the possibility that something better is just moments away is far from our minds and lips. But the truth is God is after this one thing in all of our lives no matter what has gone on in our past or is going on around us at this very moment. He wants our hope to be in Him and He wants us to trust this path that we are on, no matter what it may be. “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come” (2 Corinthians 5:17).
