You Can't Go Back, Part 2 of 2
原作者： Todd Beiswenger
Sometimes we find ourselves looking back, thinking about "the good old days." While it's fine to look back at fond memories, we have to be careful that we don't try to go back to old spiritual states. God has us on a path for continual improvement, and so He gives us good times and experiences on our way to help us grow, but eventually we have to leave those behind as we take the next steps on our journey.
