I have someone in my life who is capable of keeping for years everything you did to her. Growing up, myself and other members of our family usually joked about how she could recall lots of things. Unfortunately, her remembrance of our offences to her outweighed the good things we did for her.
She is just like that, and I believe there are lots of people worldwide who are exactly like her. No one can succeed in fixing them. They are like time bombs because when you offend them again, they take care to ensure you don’t forget what you did to them the previous time.
Here is where Jehovah is and will not be like us. Once He forgives us, He forgives us. No more recollection of what we did or how bad we acted in the past. Isn’t that wonderful? We only need to be honest when we come to Him for forgiveness. However, once forgiven, it is not a renewed passport to confining sinning. Do not think anything is permitted.
Shalom!
