A TRIP DOWN MEMORY LANE

“Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.”
2 Corinthians 5:17 KJV

It’s important to take a trip down memory lane once in a while so we won’t forget all the things that Jesus has done for us.  Not only has He saved us from sin if we have invited Him into our heart, He has also given us a new heart filled with peace and joy.  Jesus takes away our old heart and gives us a new heart.

We need to be careful when we are on memory lane because satan will use anything he can to discourage us and lie to us.  Our enemy will even tell us that we aren’t saved and that Jesus doesn’t love us.  When satan first attacks us with lies, we need to cry out to Jesus immediately and ask Him to help us.

It breaks my heart when I remember the things I did before I was saved and the hateful and cruel words I said to people.  I was a very selfish person before Jesus gave me a new heart.  I told God yesterday how it breaks my heart because I had been so hateful and selfish.  He said “I don’t remember”.

God doesn’t have a bad memory.  He chooses to forgive and forget our sins.  “And their sins and iniquities will I remember no more” (Hebrews 10:17).  O that you and I will follow the example of our compassionate and loving Heavenly Father and forgive those who hurt us and never remember them again.

Heavenly Father, thank You for being a merciful compassionate and forgiving Father.  May we follow Your example and be kind and loving to those who have hurt us just as You are to us when we hurt You.  I love You, Heavenly Father.  I love You, Jesus.  I love You, Holy Spirit.  In Jesus’ Name, I pray.  Amen.
