“Although my memory's fading, I remember two things very clearly. I'm a great sinner and Christ is a great Savior.” John Newton (Author of the hymn “Amazing Grace”)

“My sin  is ever before me.” Ps.51

There are some very good reasons to keep reminding yourself of your sins. But, self indulging guilt is not one of them. Remembering our sins can help us remember the remedy. My sin is ever before me, but so too is my Savior. Let me say it with the same breath; my sins not only remind me that I need a Savior but that I have one. Knowing my sins keeps me humble and dependant on His mercy and grace. Remembering my need of mercy and grace reminds me to extend them to others. Conversations Within” ts 2/20/2015
