Just to forgive US our sins ana

on. you can't see when there Is six
and ono half miles rolling ever. That
is what becomes OF my sins. God
says. II cast them behind my back,
/ cast them into the deepest depths
OF the sea | will remember your
transgrcssions against you no more
forever" God passes an act OF Tor
getfulncss and oblivion.

lutely despise with every drop or
blood IN my body, II is the dirty,
low down degenerate OF hell, who
throws lt into your face and reminds
YOU or somebody else OF something
you used TO do or something you did
once, when you are not doing that
thing now. Such dirty dogs OF hell
can't bear 70 be decent themselves
and they don't wantany body else 70
de decent, so they want 20 rag every
body down to their level.
God says, 81 don't give rap now
what you have done" / don't give
a rap what you have done. God
doesn't.
When n man takes his stand for
Christ. God never holds the past
against him. Never, never, never,
neverl He forgets Il. He blots II
out as with a cloud. He casts 1t into
the deepest depths of the sea, casts
II behind his back. That is what
becomes Of 1t. So don't try and cover
Il up, you can't do that. Don't try
and make yourself betteh. Just sur
render without one plea and Gods
forgiveness is yours.
