Memories

We had a great time at our small group last night. We all brought pictures from our childhood and weddings.

It was interesting to see the way everyone has changed over the years.

Memories are very, very important. They can build us up, or they can tear us down.

Some memories we cherish, others we would rather forget.

What's amazing about God is that he chooses to not remember my mistakes and failures, but is going to reward me one day for what I have done right.

Dwell on that for a moment.

That's what I would call "selective memory" at its finest.

God has "selective memory."

The Bible says he puts my sins as far away as the East is from the West.

Can we not be thankful for that today!

And would it not behoove us to do the same in our relationships with others? We must learn from the past, but not dwell on the past.

Paul said that we are to forget those thing that are behind and press on toward the goal of drawing closer to God.

Learn from the past - but don't dwell on the past.

Onward and upward!
