Simplicity of Forgiveness


Amidst all the craziness at work two weeks ago, I sat at the end of the 9AM and listened to the band close out a great service. And two lines stood out so clearly to me, "You keep no records of my sin. You don't remember all my shame." I guess because my personality and brain tends to keep record of my past shame and wrongs; I never really thought about the fact that God doesn't. He knows everything about us even before it takes place. So why would He have to keep track? It was starling reality to me. It caused me to feel deeply humbled and left me thinking about the importance of seeking forgiveness and the redemption that God so freely gives. It's something that I want to be constantly reminded of since I so easily keep track of my past wrongs.
