I am thankful this morning that Jesus doesn’t dig up our past like some fellow Christians do-
Psalm 103:12, As far as the east is from the west, so far hath he removed our transgressions from us.
Why is it so hard for us to forgive and forget what someone has done to us or to someone we care about? Why is it we love to sit around and talk about what someone did to us 5, 10, 15, or even 30 years ago? Why is so important for us to gossip about people?
I rejoice in knowing that Jesus isn’t like me! When He forgives sin, He chooses to remove it, forever!!! He doesn’t dig it up when He’s upset with me! He doesn’t throw it up in my face when I go to Him in prayer. He doesn’t hash it over and over day after day! You know why; It’s under the blood, oh praise His dear name!! I’m not what I use to be, My life’s been changed! It’s because He forgives and choses to forget… forever!
Do you like digging up trash on people? Maybe you need to be a little bit more like Jesus: forgive, chose to forget…. forever.
