God told His people to always remember the Exodus, how He saved them out of Egypt, how He split the sea in two, how He brought them to Sinai, and to the Promised Land. God told Israel to remember the Law He gave them. It is holy to remember what God has done in our lives. But it is holy also to not remember when it comes to what man has done or not done in our lives. We are saved in the first place because God chooses not to remember. It is written in Isaiah 43, "I will remember your sin no more." We need to practice the holy act of not remembering. It's not just that we forget. It is rather we choose to "remember no more." It is not passive. It is an act of the will in God's grace. To remember no more means there is something there that can be remembered, but God chooses to specifically remember it not. So what that person did to you, it's hard to forget. But you need to do what God did. You need to choose to remember it no more.
From Message #461 - Be ye Imperfect I
Today, forgive and forget all the wrongful things done to you. Choose to remember them no more but instead dwell on all the good God has done for you.
Scripture: Hebrews 8:12 | Isaiah 43
