A good memory is a great thing to have, especially when it comes to studying for tests or memorizing scripture, dates, birthdays, phone numbers etc. However sometimes our memories can cause problems if they become too good with every little detail..... especially if it's the details of every little wrong that is done to us. A cutting remark made without thinking may be remembered for months, even years. A careless comment can ruin a relationship if it's not dealt with quickly in our own hearts, forgiven and then forgotten. Sometimes we say we forgive but if we still remember and we don't let it go, then can we really say it's forgiven?
I'm so glad that when God says that he forgives us of our sins, he promises that they will never be held against us again. Sometimes having a bad memory is not such a terrible thing to have.
Blessed are they whose transgressions are forgiven, whose sins are covered. Blessed is the man whose sin the Lord will never count against him." NIV Romans 4:7-8
