“When God Forgives, He Forgets”
How different God’s pardon is from ours! So often we forgive as did the mother of the little girl who had been good a whole week, and asked mother for a favor. “I know” was the answer, “that you have been good all this week, but you know your were bad last week.” In a passionate burst of feeling the little one exclaimed: “Oh, mother, you are not one bit like God. When He forgives He doesn’t keep throwing it up afterward.”
