Greetings,
I keep a magnetized pad on my refrigerator where I jot down the things I need to buy next time I go grocery shopping. However, more than once I have arrived at the store only to realize I left the list behind. And the other day Jorge and I were frantically looking for my car keys when they were literally in my hand the entire time. That's happened to me as well with reading glasses, which were on my head as I was searching for them. Plus, I have lost count of how many times I walk into a room to get something only to forget what I wanted to get in the first place.
When we forget, however, we are in good company!
"I am He Who blots out your transgressions and remembers your sins no more" (Isaiah 43:25).
God erases and wipes out our sins and completely forgets them, never thinks of them again. If He, the Almighty is moving on, then so should we.
Let's not beat ourselves up over lacks in judgment and mistakes. Over egregious errors and wrongdoing.
Our precious Lord offers decisive forgiveness and then forgets. No need to wallow in guilt. Rather, let's revel in God's goodness.
When we come to Him and ask to be forgiven, He jumps into action and wipes the slates of our heart clean. Once it's erased there's no retrieving it.
PRAYER: Dear Lord, We ask for forgiveness right now from our sins. We thank You that You have already forgiven us and have forgotten what the fuss was all about. Help us forgive and forget as well. Remove any crushing burden of guilt. Thank You that Your mercies are new every morning. Empower us to live wisely, and send Your angels to watch over us and those we love. In Jesus' name, Amen.
