The Scent of the Past -The Call of the Future


These pictures were taken at the same time on a foggy beach. One photo on the left is like the past,it is where we have come from .There are things we remember and things we want to forget. There are those who want you to remember any things you have done wrong.They want to make their own 'penny arcade' light seem brighter by dimming yours. God promises that if we are sorry for the things we have done wrong and repent turn away from them He will not remember them . You see God looks at the heart, no human can see that and we can kid people by our words but only God sees the real heart -the real you -the you that you are when no one else is looking .The past has gone,you cannot change it but you can stop it from being a chain round your neck and letting others try to load you down.
The other picture was taken at the same time it was looking up the beach .There is still a mist because we do not know what the future holds .In my time traveling books 'The Scent of Time' and 'The Scent of Home' (Published by Black Rose Writing)the characters went to a lot of places in different times but the one place I did not send them was the future because what that is like is known only to God . The one difference between the two pictures is that there is a Lighthouse in the one on the right ,even in the midst of darkness as we head towards the future or the road is not obvious as long as we keep our eye on the light house we will get safely there whether on sea or land.
Jesus said "I am the Light of the World ,they who follow me will not walk in darkness but have the Light of
 life." We have to keep our eyes on the light and not look back,even though the future is unknown Jesus promises to open the way . God has one direction -Forwards.Let's follow Him.
