“Forgiveness is a promise not a feeling. When you forgive other people, you are making a promise not to use their past sin against them.” Brett

“As far as the east is from the west, so far has he removed our transgressions from us.” Ps.103

The whole point that God has removed our sins from us as far as the east is from the west is to assure us not only of His absolute forgiveness, but also that He will not take them into account against us in His dealings with us. This does not mean that He will not take them into account at all. He will surely do so to help us overcome them. In this way God is being nice to us not naive. Conversations Within” ts 10/8/2014
