Quotes about moving on
This topic is something that we’ve all struggled with. The pain from disappointments, business failures, relationships, divorce, mistakes, and sin make it hard for us to move forward. When discouragement happens if we’re not careful, then despair can happen. When you feel despair, then you begin to give up.
Always remember that your identity is not found in your past, it’s found in Christ. Calm down for a second and be still. Don’t dwell on the negative which can result in depression. Instead, change your focus to Christ and reflect on His goodness and His love for you. Get alone with Him and pray that He comforts your heart. Get up and let’s move on from the past! All of the quotes below have a special meaning in my heart and I hope that you are blessed by them.
