 God does not promote you in your calling if you're constantly living in your past. If you're constantly looking and longing for the things of old, it takes total commitment to set your mind on the things ahead and above and to say I'm going to pursue the call of God. I'm ridding my life of the old means of sustenance and stability and reliability and familiarity and I'm now turning to what God has for me. I'm stepping into the new. It takes total commitment.
