What God Doesn't Remember

I, even I, am he who blots out
your transgressions, for my own sake,
and remembers your sins no more.
Isaiah 43:25

Here is a fantastic spiritual truth:
When you repent of your sin, God does not remember it anymore!
Once we've asked His forgiveness,
He no longer thinks about it, or brings it to our attention.

If God can let go of our past...
shouldn't we do the same?
Why is it that so many people constantly focus
on their past mistakes and wrongdoings?

Here's my challenge for you today:
Stop remembering what God has already forgotten!
Step into TODAY and let the past be the past.

In order to receive the new things God wants to do in your life,
you need to let go of the old.
Once you ask for God's forgiveness,
quit dwelling on your mistakes and failures.
As long as you're looking back,
you'll never be able to move forward.

Perhaps your past keeps coming back to your mind.
Do you know who is continually bringing it up?
The enemy.
He's called the accuser of the brethren.
His goal is to keep you focused on your past,
feeling guilty and condemned.
But Romans 8:1 tells us that
there is no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.

Don't follow the enemy down the path of dwelling on your failures.
Let the past be the past.
Receive God's mercy today so you can move forward
in the life of blessing He has for you!

Have a blessed & powerful day!

A PRAYER FOR TODAY
Heavenly Father, thank You for cleansing me and making me new.
I choose to turn away from my past and receive Your grace, mercy,
and forgiveness today. Lead me and guide me forward
in the good plan You have for me.
In Jesus' Name, Amen.
