Unmasking The Past - Part 1

What is unmasking your past? 

Unmasking your past is the ability to accept and own your past, without any thoughts or ideas of abandoning them, or denying them as part of your existence. It is the ability of your refusing to be ashamed of them. It is the ability of you to recognize them as part of your journey which will constantly hold a clue to the interpretation of your present and your future.

This is a journey and a mindset that reveals today is the child of the past. Everybody has a past that is mixed with things they are proud of and things that looks shameful to be made known in public. Nevertheless, no human can claim innocent in this area of the subject. As bad as some of our past might be, they contributed to this amazing us that we are becoming daily

How is this unmasking of the past in nature?

It is a deliberate decision of anyone who have decided to accept their past with the credit or blame that comes with them as his or her full responsibility. It is the absence of shifting blame or making excuses. It is a display of humility, accountability, and honesty to yourself.

It is the ability of you to drop every blame and admits to the fact that you are a sole contributor (directly or indirectly) to any of your past that happened. It is in your observation to identify what you did wrong, how you did it, what made you do it, and where you missed it... irrespective of the influence of any other person the contributed to the events of your past.

It is you identify where your ignorance implicated you. It is you identifying where your stubbornness implicated you. It is you identifying where being honest and truthful is implicated. It is you paying attention to the whole details surrounding your past. IT IS YOU PAYING ATTENTION TO WHAT YOU SHOULD HAVE DONE THAT YOU DIDN'T DO. IT IS YOU PAYING ATTENTION TO WHAT YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE DONE THAT YOU DID. In this is a place you learn, the first person to blame is yourself. The first person to appreciate is yourself. The first person to forgive is yourself.

This is a step of maturity learning the wisdom that every outcome of your life was EITHER YOUR CHOICE OR YOUR FAULT... even thou you are realizing it now.

It is you Admitting your faults and the success of your past. It is about you Looking in the mirror and be honest about your mistake and success. Own your part, and leave it to others to own theirs. Proverbs 28:13, James 5:16.

Your Life, Relationships, and Resources Belong to God

Stewardship is more than managing money; it’s about recognizing that everything you are and everything you have belongs to God. Your life, time, relationships, and even your emotions are divine trusts, not personal possessions. Psalm 24:1 reminds us, “The earth is the Lord’s, and everything in it, the world, and all who live in it.” When you understand this truth as a youth, it changes how you make choices, treat people, and handle opportunities. In dating and relationships, stewardship means honoring God with your heart and choices. You don’t date to fill loneliness; you date to reflect purpose. Your emotions should be guided by wisdom, not impulse. When you see your partner as someone God trusts you to treat with dignity, purity, and patience, your approach changes. You begin to love responsibly and communicate with respect, knowing you’ll give an account for how you handle another person’s heart. For singles, stewardship includes how you use your time and gifts while waiting. Every ...

HOW TO UNDERSTAND SEXUAL VALUES

Sexual value in a relationship is the discipline and purity you uphold concerning your body and desires. What is sexual value? It is the standard you place on how you honor God with your sexuality. Why is this important? Because sex is not just a physical act; it is a spiritual covenant designed for marriage. Who should care about sexual values? Both singles and those dating, because disregarding God’s design in this area can leave scars, regrets, and unnecessary baggage. 1 Thessalonians 4:3 reminds us, “It is God’s will that you should be sanctified: that you should avoid sexual immorality.” How do you build sexual value? By setting boundaries, avoiding compromising environments, and renewing your mind with God’s Word. When do you start? Now, not when you are engaged or married, because self-control is practiced long before the wedding day. Where does this apply? In how you relate with the opposite sex, the conversations you entertain, the media you consume, and the spaces you allow y...

Why Openness About Money Is Key in Dating and Future Marriage

Beloved, money is one of the quiet tests of trust in every relationship. You cannot build a godly relationship on secrecy. Financial honesty is not just about showing your bank balance—it’s about being truthful with your lifestyle, habits, and priorities. The Bible says, “Provide things honest in the sight of all men.” (Romans 12:17). Openness builds trust, while financial silence breeds suspicion. When you are dating, honesty about money helps both of you plan wisely and avoid unrealistic expectations. Talk about how you earn, save, spend, and give. It’s not about impressing one another—it’s about understanding each other’s values. Hiding debts, exaggerating income, or pretending to live a certain way will only cause future pain. “Better is the poor who walks in his integrity than one who is perverse in his ways, though he be rich.” (Proverbs 28:6). Financial transparency also helps you discern compatibility. If one values stewardship while the other values status, there will be tensi...
