He Doesn’t Remember

“I will remember their sins no more.”
Hebrews 8:12 RSV

I was thanking the Father today for his mercy. I began listing the sins he’s forgiven. One by one I thanked God for forgiving my stumbles and tumbles. My motives were pure and my heart was thankful, but my understanding of God was wrong. It was when I remember that it hit me.

“Remember the time I…” I was about thank God for another act of mercy. But I stopped. Something was wrong. The word remember seemed displaced… “Does he remember?”

Then I remembered. I remembered his words. “And I will remember their sins no more.”

Wow! Not, that is a remarkable promise.

God doesn’t just forgive, he forgets…For all the things he does do, this is one he refuses to do. He refuses to keep a list of my wrongs.

Perhaps that God forgets. Perhaps we should too, especially if we continue to do the same thing over and over again, and expect different results.

God does not keep count!
