When you know where you are going, it just doesn’t make sense to look back. I am grateful for the mishaps, bumps and scars. I can slightly look back and see where God has taken me from, and how he guided me out. Consider a Windshield and the rear view mirror on it. Have you noticed the size of the windshield contrary to the rear view mirror? Huge difference. Their function is obvious and it makes sense. When you have a huge clear picture of where you are going, the rear view mirror is just enough to get a glimpse at what you have left behind and what you don’t necessarily have to. Could you imagine if it were the other way around. The rear view mirror is huge and the windshield was tiny! Though at times it seems people drive like that anyway! Or navigate their lives in the same manner. There comes a point in our lives when we know where we have to go. God shows us the destination and he places this windshield in-front of us. It clearly shows us where we are going…and some. But he also leaves the rear view mirror there to show us and remind us of where we come from, what we’ve been through and the things you must leave behind. Its a simple theory and it makes sense. So why look back? The picture is clear, and yes at times the windshield gets a little smudged and blurry or hard to see through when it storms, but those things pass. It can be cleaned, buffed, and fixed. So even if your windshield has been shattered or cracked, we can get it fixed and continue on. There is no reason to give up now, we’ve come this far. Uncertainty is an adventure when God is involved. Its outcome? “I told you so…”
