John 8:32 NET
Interesting thing about our past experiences, they all have a bias. Yep, each one of our experiences is biased, and the further we get in time from when that experience happened, the more biased it is toward our perceptions of the event. What I mean by that is that when we think of something that happened to us in the past, our thoughts become biased to where we look the best, or where we look like the victim. Unfortunately we bring those distorted views of our experiences to present day and apply that to a current circumstance. The result is that we end up being the victim all over again and we get hurt all over again. What we need to do is bring Jesus to the current circumstance. Jesus said that He will show us the truth, and this truth will set us free. That means that whenever you are in a circumstance where you are feeling hurt, or are re-living a past experience or starting to experience feelings that you had from a past event, instead of diving into those feelings, go to Jesus, ask Him to reveal truth to you. Feelings will lie to you, past events and your memories are distorted to the point that they will lie to you, but Jesus will not lie. He will bring truth to you and to the situation. Now you must be ready for what He tells you, because believe your not, you may be the one who is wrong. But whatever He tells you, He will be telling you the truth, and it will set you free!
Take Away: In every situation you find yourself in, don't rely on past experience and feelings to dictate the outcome, ask Jesus to reveal truth to you!
