Sea of Forgetfullness

Micah 7:19

"He will again have compassion on us, and will subdue our iniquities.  He will cast all our sins into the depths of the sea."

Sometimes I just want to forget my past because it includes my sin.  I don't like to remember my dirty laundry, and sometimes when I think about it I just break down and cry.  I cry because of the hurt that my sin has caused others, and I cry because of what might have been if I had responded with godly choices instead of the sinful choices.  I find rest in the fact that God has taken my sin, and thrown it into the depths of the sea where He remembers it no more.  How awesome is He?  Psalm 32:1 says, "Blessed is He whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered."  That's all I need because everything else is so trivial in life.  My sins are covered in the blood of Jesus forever.  Past, present, and future sins are covered.  On my best day, I'm not worthy to stand before Him.  It's only by His grace.  His love for me never changed even when I was wollowing in sin.  He was right there.  He healed me the moment I asked Him to heal me.  Praise the name of the LORD for covering my sin.  I want to go deeper into His grace. We forget sometimes the power Grace has to offer.  We get caught up in rules, 12 step procedures, works, and legalism. It's the power of God which can free us from powerful addictions overnight.  It is for freedom He has set us free.  You can be free right now from powerful strongholds that have held you in prison all your life.  Isaiah 61 says that the Spirit of the LORD was upon Jesus to bring freedom to the captives.  I was once a captive, but now I'm free because Jesus set me free.  Whatever your stronghold is right now ask Jesus to supernaturally deliver you from this sin and bondage.  Whom the son sets free is free indeed.  David says in Psalms 30:2, "O LORD my God, I cried out to you, and You healed me."  Cry out to Him now, and you will be healed by the power and authority of Jesus Christ. Amen.
