Living in the past evokes guilt.... Living in the future arouses anxiety. I choose then to live in the present. To take each situation as it arises, and be still within it.
"There is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit of life set me free from the law of sin and death. For what the law was powerless to do in that it was weakened by the sinful nature, God did by sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful man to be a sin offering. And so he condemned sin in sinful man, in order that the righteous requirements of the law might be fully met in us, who do not live according to the sinful nature but according to the Spirit."
(really wish I hadn't lost my copy of The Message, because I'd like to read that interpretation. When I find it, I will compare.).

My favorite snippet from The Message translation is where we are exhorted to "love extravagantly". What a great image that is.
