Today's Scripture & Insight :
Jill Price was born with the condition of hyperthymesia: the ability to remember in extraordinary detail everything that ever happened to her. She can replay in her mind the exact occurrence of any event she’s experienced in her lifetime.
The TV show Unforgettable was premised on a female police officer with hyperthymesia—to her a great advantage in trivia games and in solving crimes. For Jill Price, however, the condition isn’t so much fun. She can’t forget the moments of life when she was criticized, experienced loss, or did something she deeply regretted. She replays those scenes in her head over and over again.
Our God is omniscient (perhaps a kind of divine hyperthymesia): the Bible tells us that His understanding has no limit. And yet we discover in Isaiah a most reassuring thing: “I, even I, am he who blots out your transgressions . . . and remembers your sins no more” (43:25). The book of Hebrews reinforces this: “We have been made holy through . . . Jesus Christ . . . [and our] sins and lawless acts [God] will remember no more” (Hebrews 10:10, 17).
As we confess our sins to God, we can stop playing them over and over in our minds. We need to let them go, just as He does: “Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past” (Isaiah 43:18). In His great love, God chooses to not remember our sins against us. Let’s remember that.

I Must Admit, I've Noticed That About Many People Whom Profess To Be Christians:
"I'm Not Perfect, But I Am Forgiven".......But They Tend To Forget, It Does NOT Mean
"They Can Continue Doing The Same Thing, With The Same Results,".... But They Sure Seem To.
I'm NOT Much Of A Religious Person, But I DO Know What's Right And What's Wrong.....
And I Take Full Responsibility For My Own Actions.. I Don't Blame The Devil, Nor My Fellow Man....
If I Did Something, Good OR Bad, I'm The Responsible Party, ~ Period.~
.... Do They Really Think Their God's Not Watching?
