Have you ever been arguing with your husband or anyone for that matter and all of a sudden you bring up all the past hurts? That person has totally forgot them,but we remember all from the beginning of time. We can count each and every one of the hurts or wrongs committed against us. Our we at a ballgame and need to be keeping score? No, we shouldn't but it seems that we can struggle with that very much. If a person has hurt us, we not only bring up that,but we can go back in time, years really,and think we can change things,or make them better by keeping a list. Lists are for our groceries.Keeping score if for our softball games. We should forgive as Christ forgives us. In Colossians 3:13 it tells us; "Bearing with one another, and forgiving one another, if anyone has a complaint against another; even as Christ forgave you, so you also must do." Christ is telling us to forgive just as He did. Would we really want Jesus keeping score of our many sins against Him? I don't want Him to remember each day what I have done,and have to start all over again. Psalm 103:12 says; " As far as the east is from the west, So far has He removed our transgressions from us." See, Jesus remembers no more,why do we think we can hang on to that? We must remember all that Jesus has done for us, and all He has forgiven us of. For us to hang on to all the wrongs against us,is to say that He dying on the cross was of no gain. He died for all, and for all sins we have committed in our pasts, our present and our future. We must look at His example and forgive,not keeping score no more...
