The Best Eraser

I have blotted out, like a thick cloud, your transgressions. - Isaiah 44:22


What is memory? What is this faculty that enables us to recall past feelings, sight, sounds, and experiences? By what process are events recorded, stored, and preserved in our brain to be brought back again and again? Much is still mystery.

We do know that memories can be blessings - full of comfort, assurance, and joy. Old age can be happy and satisfying if we have stored up memories of purity, faith, fellowship, and love. If a saint looks back on a life if Christian service and remember the faithfulness of Him who promised: "I will never leave you nor forsake you" (Heb. 13:5), his or her sunset years can be the sweetest of all.

But memory can also be a curse and a tormentor. Many people as they approach the end of life would give all they prossess to earse from their minds the past sins that haunt them. What can a person do who is plagued by such remembrance? Just one thing. He can take them out forever. He's the One who said, "Their sins and their lawless deeds I will remember no more" (Heb. 10:17).

You may not be able to forget your past. But the Lord offers to blot out, "like a thick cloud, your transgressions" (Isa. 44:22). - M. R. Haan


The deep remorse that's in the soul
No human eye may trace;
But Jesus sees the broken heart,
And can its woes erase. - Bosch

The best eraser is honest confession to God.

Luke 16:19-31

"Now there was a certain rich man, and he was clothed in purple and fine linen, living in luxury every day. A certain beggat, named Lazarus, was laid at his gate, full of sores, and desiring to be fed with the crumbs that fell from the rich man's table. Yes, even the dogs came and licked his sores.

It happened that the beggar died, and that he was carried away by the angels to Abraham's bosom. The rich man also died, and was buried. In Hades, he lifted up his eyes, being in torment, and saw Abraham far off, and Lazarus at his bosom.

He cried and said, 'Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue! For I am in anguish in this flame.' "But Abraham said, 'Son, remember that you, in your lifetime, received your good things, and Lazarus, in like manner, bad things. But now here he is comforted and you are in anguish.

Besides all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed, that those who want to pass from here to you are not able, and that none may cross over from there to us.' "He said, 'I ask you therefore, father, that you would send him to my father's house; for I have five brothers, that he may testify to them, so they won't also come into this place of torment.'

"But Abraham said to him, 'They have Moses and the prophets. Let them listen to them.' "He said, 'No, father Abraham, but if one goes to them from the dead, they will repent.' "He said to him, 'If they don't listen to Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded if one rises from the dead.'"

If someone don't listen to Moses or prophet, he won't care no matter how many person rises from dead to tell him the truth... for everything he "think" is in his own control...

Abraham too point out the fact of not everyone will listen to Jesus even after he rises from dead... T.T (so sad... why so many people don't want to depend on God??!! someone to help you in everything, take care of you... not good enough meh??!!)
