Paul wrote the book of Philippians in Philippi, where he was beaten, whipped, humiliated, falsely arrested, and thrown into prison.
Paul had a lot of reasons to focus on painful memories in Philippi. But he still chose to be grateful for the people in his life and Gods’ work in and through them.
Yet Paul told the believers, “Every time I think of you, I give thanks to my God” (Philippians 1:3 NLT).
You need to understand that memories are a choice. If you want to hold on to your painful memories, go right ahead. But you’re not going to be happy.
