Heavenly Father, in Your compassion You crush our sins under Your feet and throw them in the depths of the ocean, to be remembered no more. And yet there are times when we have great difficulty letting go of past sins to the extent of dwelling on them and getting weighed down by guilt and self-condemnation. Help us to let go of that which You have forgiven. If we are to remember anything of our past, let it be that which brings glory to You as we share with others that which You have forgiven and delivered us from. May the contrast of our former lives not bring up condemnation which You have freed us from, but instead provide witness that there is nothing beyond Your merciful pardon. To God be the glory through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

Brother Jim, thank you. I use to have people in the past, tried to remind me of my past. I would tell them, "The Lord has forgiven me and my sins have been wash by His Blood. I am forgiven! Now, Satan, does the same thing. I would tell him, "Gone away, gone away, my sins at last are gone way. I had had a streak of bad, bad times. My sins are gone away.
