Plea For Mercy

Psalms 25:6-7
(6) Remember your mercy, O LORD, and your steadfast love, for they have been from of old.
(7) Remember not the sins of my youth or my transgressions; according to your steadfast love remember me, for the sake of your goodness, O LORD!


If we are in Christ we can pray this. We can ask the Lord not to remember our transgressions. I know that I have plenty of baggage from my past that I would love never to bring to mind again. Yet the Lord will not remember it if we are washed by the blood of Jesus.

This is the sort of mercy that I know we are also to have toward others. What a challenging passage!
