(II Corinthians 9:15) We often hear the expres sion, "Forgive and forget." This applies to the one doing the forgiving but not for the one for given. When God forgives us, He transforms us, changing us Into new persons yet not destroying our memory. As forgiven sinners. It Is to our advantage not to forget the sort of persons we were before we were for givenour opposition to God, our lack of love for Him, or rejection of His church, our loose living and lad habits. When God recreates us, we still remember the ugliness In our old selves. As persons made new by Christ's transforming spirit, we ran look bark on the past with a deep thankfulness for what He has done for us and in us. The marvel of God's forgive ness is that He saves us from living on a low level. He gives new vision and hope, new in. splralion and power to live on a higher, more satisfying plane. PRAYtR: I Uiank Thee, O Lord, that Thy forgiveness has so changed me that I am a new person. Though I remember what I was, Thou has forgiven my ruilt and made nie Thy child. Tearli me obedience ta Thee, throurh dally disrlpleship with Christ Thy Son, In whose name I pray. Amen.
