Why should we forget the past?

What should we forget?

Our own sins?

The sins of others?

What about God?

Does God remember our past?

Sometimes the reason we’re not connected is because of the past: past hurts, past failures, what they said, how they treated us. As long as you’re stuck in the past, you’ll stay disconnected. You have to let it go. This is a new day. God’s mercy is fresh every morning. Come into the present. Life is too short to hold on to hurts, live upset, focus on what they did wrong. No matter who you’re in a relationship with, how good of a person they are, at times, they’re going to disappoint you, they’re going to let you down. Give that person room to be human. Show them some mercy.
