You are not defined by the pain of your past, but by the plans of God. God's triumphant providential plan can refine you and help you reign in life through Jesus Christ.

I bless you to be as Manasseh. Forgotten troubles the name means. You are not defined by the pain of the past, but by the plans of God. Though Joseph's first 30 years were riddled with sorrow and disappointment, God's triumphant providential plan for him eclipsed the adversities of home and of Egypt. God may not plan for you to govern a nation like Joseph, but He's always intended for you to, as Paul said in Romans 5, reign in life through Jesus Christ. You can forget what lies behind and, as Paul said in Philippians 3, press on toward the goal of the prize in Christ Jesus. Yesterday is over. But the rubble of your past shall not be wasted. Beloved, you are a Manasseh. The troubles of your past do not define you. They refine you.
