Every Saint has a past, Every Sinner has a future. We are not trapped by who we were or where we happen to be at the moment. When we are clear of mind and focus on the truth about your divine self we can then move into the light and in that place to have the grace to have compassion for ourselves and others. Never deny your past and don’t be trapped by it. Don’t get indulged in the future or you will lose the present experience of peace and love.
