We forget the things that
are behind, because it is right that we should do so; because God
forgets them and declares that He has cast all of our imperfections
behind His back, that our imperfections are all covered from His
sight, by the merit of Him who loved us and who died for us, and
whom we love, and in whom we are trusting, and in whose steps we are
seeking to walk, though having more or less of imperfection
according to the defects we have inherited in the flesh. We are not
meaning to suggest that slips or failures should be lightly esteemed
or quickly forgotten; they should be rectified to the extent of our
ability, and Divine forgiveness should be sought for these defects
daily. |
