God Does Not Care Where Youve Been, He Only Cares Where Youre Going. God wants you to get ahead! When unfair things happen to us, it is difficult to let go of the hurt and pain. Many times, it is easier to remain focused on our past setbacks and disappointments than to deal with our anger and grief. In this series, Forgotten Past and Fresh Future, Joel encourages you to release those negative emotions and allow God to restore everything you have lost. God has a better and brighter future in store for you, but you have to be willing to let go of the past.
