East to West....

How far you ask? How far does the line of forgetfulness go? Listening again to the Casting Crowns new hit "East to West" and on the same day I get a phenominal devotion from Joel Osteen entitled "Free From Condemnation" where he reminds us how when we asked Jesus into our hearts, which is truly an experience only validated between YOU and GOD and never to be doubted by others, he tosses our sins away from us as far as the east is from the west. With the recent occurrances happening in my family's life, I cannot help to but to express to those reading how awesome it is to be reminded of the fact that God doesn't see our past, doesn't focus on it and works with the evil one to bring you down when you may stumble, but to embrace you and remind you that all He sees is "white as snow".

Feeling attacked? Being reminded that your mistakes of your past have to be seen in your future? Remember this:

"God actually chooses to forget your sins! That means your sins are completely removed. In fact, they aren’t even yours anymore. Don’t let the enemy dig up your past or try to make you feel guilty for something that happened a long time ago, or even yesterday. The enemy is called the “accuser of the brethren”, and he works overtime to bring you down with false accusations. Be confident that God doesn’t remember your past. You are free from condemnation through the blood of Jesus Christ. The next time the enemy brings up your past, declare that you are free from condemnation in Jesus’ Name!"
