He has blotted out this whole fearful record!



(Stephen Tyng, "Practical Meditations")

"I, even I, am He who blots out your transgressions,
 for My own sake, and remembers your sins no more."
     Isaiah 43:25

What an amount of guilt has He pardoned! 
It is impossible to overstate this. No view
that I can now take of it ascends to the truth.

My original debasement,
my wayward youth,
my rejection of His love,
my rebellion against His authority,
my forgetfulness of His goodness,
my backslidings from His way,
my inconsistent profession,
my vain and sinful example,
the wickedness of my unconverted state,
the errors of my renewed state.
Alas! every day and every act brings up its
separate testimony. And all condemn me!

But He has freely pardoned!

He has blotted out this whole fearful record!

He will remember it no more!

"Once again you will have compassion on us.
 You will trample our sins under Your feet and
 throw them into the depths of the ocean!"
     Micah 7:19
