The first three steps in getting unstuck from the skeletons that reside in the closet in your mind were:
Accept your past
Leave your past in the past
Don't repeat your past
The final step in the process of getting unstuck is to expand your borders. In step three it was established that if you build boundaries for your behavior, you will have built a fence (borders) to protect you from you. In your daily walk, as you approach those borders, and if you are serious about getting un-stuck and truly becoming the man, husband, and father God created you to be, you will be saying to yourself "nope, I'm not going there". The trick for fully getting un-stuck is to expand those borders on a regular basis. In doing so you are separating yourself further and further from those things that could ultimately become additional skeletons. Your whole focus should now be a forward focus only, with no glimpses back at the closet where the skeletons live. They are there, and you know they are there. They will always be there, and you know that as well. But you now appreciate those skeletons because it is they who have driven you to become a new man. Your whole concentration now is to focus forward, with emphasis on creating a whole new past ! So MOVE ON!!
These four steps of becoming un-stuck from your skeletons will free you and make you stronger as a Christ follower. You will be empowered because you have taken on your worse enemy, you, and you will have won. You will become the man, husband, and father that God designed you to be. And you will realize and bask in the full benefit of the unlimited grace He has given us.
Thanks Darren
