Most of the time, it is only a problem if it is a problem.
Christians are often offended, get panicky about things and drag the past around in big soul barnacles.
Why should we live that way when we have One by whose stripes we are healed? Why live as though there were no help? Why stew and fret?
Why not live as we are instructed in God's Word, learning to come to Him, pouring it all out and moving forward by faith, all the while deciding to eagerly embrace any correction or chastisement?
Wound-licking starts as a child. Children must be taught to change the countenance. They must learn to be sensitive to the needs of others before their own needs. This is not natural and is learned through consistent and prayerful correction and, more importantly, by example.
What does it mean to take up The Cross? It is the place of the death of the flesh - the flesh that wants its own way and anything else is a problem.
Was Judas a problem? Not for God
Was Pharaoh a problem? Not for God.
Was the Cross a problem? Not at all. The Cross had to come before the Resurrection.
Soldier, pray to be taught to march without missing beats. It is supernatural. You were created to walk on the water. You were created to live by faith.
You were created to be grounded on the Rock and not on anything else. Make sure your stability does not depend on what goes on around you.
Present yourself as a Living Sacrifice.
Aloud.
