Innocence regained when we are redeemed! TR Amen TR! Your post reminded me of Big Daddy Weave's song. Thanks Todd! The scope and ramifications of this statement are marvelous! Truly a forgiven virginal bride! With all our sins nevermore to be remember! TR You know TR that is an excellent point. I was a ministry leader and a state representative for Celebrate Recovery - a Christian recovery program for any type of addiction. I worked with hundreds of people who carry around the guilt and shame of their own transgressions as well as the burdens placed on them by their parents, spouses, family members, friends, co-workers, and community. Like this video - we carry this backpack of guilt and shame around and it keeps us from the joy and freedom that is freely available. When I shared this video with those who entered our program the tears often flowed. When they truly repented and started walking in freedom, they were like the little girl in the dress at the end of this video. When I told people that God not only forgives but also forgets they had a hard time grappling with that concept. And after repenting when they kept bringing their past up over and over again I had to remind them that God forgot - why are you trying to remind Him? Isaiah 43.25, Hebrews 8:12, Hebrews 10:17, Jereemiah 31.34, Acts 3:19, Micah 7:19, Psalm 103:12, 1 John 1:7-9, 1 John 1:9, Psalm 103: 11-12, Isaiah 1:18, ... Why does God mention all of this so many times in the Bible? Because we all have a hard time forgiving ourselves. Share the video with someone you know who is struggling with forgiving themselves. Its powerful.... A very freeing presentation Todd!
