DAILY READINGS: 2 Chronicles 16-17; Ezekiel 37; John 15:1-16
I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more. Hebrews 8:12
I was once invited to a meeting with a brother. He began with a tirade of accusations of how I had offended him for years. I sat dumbfounded and hurt wondering what to say. When he finished, I assured him that I was unaware that I had offended him and said that I was deeply sorry and asked him to forgive me. These were his words, “I will forgive you, but I won’t forget”! It is good to know that when God forgives, He also chooses never to remember our offenses again. —Sid Halsband
My soul at rest in Jesus lives, accepts the peace His pardon gives;
Receives the grace His death secured, and pleads the anguish He endured. —G. W. H. Hinsdale
