God tells us to do that over and over in the Scripture. You can Remember without Returning. I know people that live in their past successes. That is not what God intended. Return in your heart to the past.
Nothing measures up to what they remember.
Nothing of the present holds and attraction to them, and nothing in the future holds any promise or hope. Their heart is owned by the past. I am convinced this was the major sin of Lot s wife. Because that I where her heart was. She wanted her neighbors, evil as they were, her house and goods, her friends and family.
