Histories of Life

You know that handy button on mac computers where you can erase the history on it? I love that button, because I've always been an "organization freak" and this allows me to feel like I'm cleaning out my computer too. You just press the button and you have a clean slate. It got me thinking today - don't you wish there was a button like that for life? Just push a button and suddenly everything you've done - erased! No memory of the bad things left to dwell on against your will at a later time.

I am so grateful that I serve a God who has forgiven me, taken my punishment and redeemed me - washing my slate completely clean. I know that my sins have already been paid for. It's an amazing and heartening thought! I just wish that wiping away the guilt of sin included wiping away the memory of it... But I often try to remember that it is only Satan who reminds us of it, using it to drag us down when God has wiped it away to be remembered no more.

My, it's amazing what a simple computer function will bring to my mind.
