OD IS IN CONTROL — MAKING PEACE WITH WHO YOU WERE
One of the hardest things in life is looking back at yourself and admitting that you weren't always the person you thought you were.
I've had to do that.
I've had to look at the way I treated people, the decisions I made, and the times I thought being on top was more important than showing respect. Back then, I didn't always see things clearly. Today, I see things differently.
And the truth is, I can't change yesterday.
I can't go back and undo my mistakes or change how someone felt because of my actions. All I can do is accept where I went wrong, learn from it, and make sure the man I am today is not the same man I was yesterday.
I've learned something else, too. You don't have to carry anger toward people from your past. I've forgiven people who hurt me. I genuinely hope they're doing well. Their journey is theirs, and I'll leave the judgment to God.
I have my own life to work on.
After everything I've been through, I don't want to waste the time God has given me holding on to things that no longer serve a purpose in my life. I want to spend time with my family, watch my children grow, enjoy the small moments, and become someone they can be proud of.
My circle has become smaller, but my priorities have become clearer.
I'm not saying I've got everything figured out. I'm still learning. I'm still growing. And the old Kev will always be part of my story. But he doesn't have to decide who I become.
That's where my faith comes in.
I believe God forgives us when we come to Him with a sincere heart. I believe He can take the mistakes we've made and use them to teach us something. But faith doesn't mean we pretend we never did anything wrong. It means we have the courage to face the truth and choose a better way forward.
Sometimes, God doesn't change your past. He changes the way you see it.
Today, I'm grateful for the life I have, for Anna, for my children, and for the opportunity to keep becoming a better man.
I don't need to prove that I'm better than anyone else. I just want to be better than the person I used to be.
Maybe that's part of what life is really about. Not being perfect, but being willing to change.
So, if you're carrying regret today, don't let it convince you that your story is over. Take responsibility for your mistakes. Make peace with what you cannot change. Forgive where you can, and let God guide the person you're becoming.
You cannot rewrite yesterday, but with God's help, you can live tomorrow differently.
GOD IS IN CONTROL. 🙏
Have a blessed Sunday. ❤️
