Old Fence Lines

old fence lineWhere we have come from did not supply all the answers we need, so why would we choose to not go forward?  Maybe we cling to our roots and beliefs for security, but wouldn’t it be wiser not to limit ourselves by clinging?   I am not saying where we have come from is to be disregarded and disdained.  We weaken our own foundation for the future if we despise and criticize and live in regret of our past.  Where we have come from is a beginning.  We are instructed in the Word of God not to despise  the time of small beginnings, but neither should we stay in past times and smallness.  The past is obviously not all we will need for the future.
