Events in our past can still have a profound effect on our lives today. Part of healing now is knowing how much God loved us then. Our past is part of who we are today.
When we pretend that our past has no significance on our lives now, we give the enemy power. Instead, we need to bring all of us (including our past) under the lordship of Jesus Christ. We need to bring it all into Christ’s embrace.
Knowing that God loved us all along has the power to heal us today. If your relationship with God is only about present needs, it will lack a deeper intimacy.
Letting Jesus love who we were in the past causes us to love Him more, and makes you want to live for Him. Spending time bringing our past to Jesus helps us to see His beauty. All healing comes from seeing the beauty of Jesus.

"We have been podrishioners for several months. Our daughter, son-in-law and grandkids moved back to California after living in MN for 10 years. They attended Woodland Hills for about a year before they moved. Now we all go to the beach together on Thursdays, come home and have dinner together, then we watch last Sunday’s sermon together. It is a special day for our family."
– Dale and Patricia, from California
