So you are not really starting from the same place. <br \/>I don\u2019t think the Lord wants us to try to start over but instead he wants us to start from where we are. The key is that he does want us to start from where we are and move forward. He doesn\u2019t want us to be content with where we have been or where we are. In God\u2019s Word, Paul sets the example when he says:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cI do not regard myself as having laid hold of it yet; but one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and reaching forward to what lies ahead, I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.\u201d (Philippians 3:13-14)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<div align=\"left\">I am committing to forgetting my past and reaching forward to what God has ahead for me, to pressing on toward the eternal prize that he has for me.
