But listen isn't that what Christianity is all about we have a past right? God

doesn't want to blot out our past he wants to blot out our sin that, our redeemer is bigger than our past.

And we've talked about that, right?

God may forgive you of your past,

but he doesn't want to waste it.

He's not done with you.

And the reason why we know that God isn't done with you

is because you're still alive. And you'll know when God is done with you and the

works that he's prepared for you are done because you pass from time on into

eternity and it's over right so I had for many years and we've talked about this,

I've prayed for amnesia, you know, that I would forget about some things that I've done

or some lives that I've wrecked in the wake that I am you know traveling and traversing

inside this life but God doesn't want to erase our memory because he erased our

record and that's that's really the joy because he erased our record.

And that's really the joy of it.

And somebody, boy, I've read this quote before,

but it's worth reading again.

You know, I often talk to Christians who have a difficulty

moving forward and they're haunted by their past

and condemnation is so overwhelming

that they can't sleep at night, they can't function during the day. And to the person who says, you know, I've asked God to forgive me, but I still feel condemned, what should I do?

And Sproll responded with this.
