Philippians 3:13 Brothers, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead.
腓立比书 3:13 弟兄们，我不是以为自己已经得着了；我只有一件事，就是忘记背后，努力面前的。
Many of times when you still want to live in the past, counting what did that person do to you, remembering that hurt that you could not get rid of, reminiscing how much pain that you've gone through, you are unable to live life to the fullest. All the more you want to stay in the past, all the more you will be robbed of from today's joy and blessing. You have to know that you cannot return to what has happened behind, but only to strain toward what is ahead. Do not let the past rob you any longer from enjoying what you can enjoy in today. Therefore, God has called us to live not just a life but life abundantly, the fullest of life that He has called us to live is the fullest of joy, the fullest of peace, not the fullest of tears. Hence, do know that God has wiped off your tears, the past cannot hold you back, but instead, look forward to what is ahead for God has prepared great things ahead of you! Press on!
很多时候，当你依旧活在过去，惦记着这人或是那人对你的所作所为，总是记恨那些你无法擺脫的伤害，总是惦记你有多么痛苦，你就无法过一个丰盛的生命。你越停留在过去，你今天的喜乐与祝福就被剥夺了。你必须知道，你不能改变过去，但你能看向未来。所以不要让你过去剝奪了你今天应当享有的一切祝福。上帝呼召我们不仅仅是每一天活着而已，祂要我们过一个丰盛的生命，有丰盛的喜乐，有丰盛的平安，而不是每天以泪洗脸。所以，晓得上帝已经擦去你的眼淚，你的过去不能限制你，所以你要忘记背后，向着标杆直跑，满心的期待上帝在你面前为你预备那又大又美好的事。加油！
