Isaiah 43:25- “I, I am He who blots out your transgressions for my own sake, and I will not remember your sins.”
It’s the ten year anniversary of the publishing of my first book, Runaways: The Long Journey Home. Curious to see if I had improved as a writer over the last ten years—and eleven books later—I decided to begin rereading all of my books in the order in which I wrote them.
I wondered if I would find so many mistakes that I would want to rewrite a couple of them. And that got me thinking…
As Christians, wouldn’t it be wonderful to be given the opportunity to “rewrite” our past? To make better choices… to lean on the strength and wisdom of the Lord?
But, we don’t need to do that, do we? Because of God’s wonderful gift of forgiveness of our sins.
God not only forgives, He blots them out. Gone forever is our past with all of its mistakes… sinful actions.
That doesn’t mean we shouldn’t learn life lessons from past failures. We just don’t have to live with the guilt.
Praise God for His Mercy and Grace!
