Rehashing the past and the F Word
/Where are you stuck rehashing the past? What does the F Word have to do with getting unstuck?
In the “F Yourself” message Greg Meyer claimed: “You can forgive yourself because God is busy creating the future, not rehashing the past.” He reminded us of another Fabric conviction: “There is no baggage from your past that is greater than God’s vision for your future.”
How do you hear those two statements? Talk about it. (Does the G-Word get in the way for anyone? Talk about that too. These ideas need to stay bigger than any 3-letter word!)
Share examples of what re-hashing a past hurt sounds like. (I really did a dumb thing… That hurt so much… I am so angry…I can’t believe I… I can’t believe they…)
What can the shift to the creation of something new sound like? (What matters most to me now is… What I can do today is…What would help me right at this moment is…Something I know now is….)
What’s in it for people to stay busy rehashing the past? What’s in it for people to forgive in the now?
There is always work to be done. Some of it can stop and some of it still needs to happen. But you don’t always have to be the one carrying the pack of the work! This week, take stock
