Six Sentence Story: Forgiven, Now Forgotten

After re-reading the letter forgotten in a drawer he was cleaning out, Brian decided to tear it into pieces. George died years ago. Sarah was far away. The betrayal was painful, but it transformed into blessings beyond imagining and forgiveness should have settled it long ago.

Does the Lord Know Everything?

Hebrews 8:10-12
10 For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord; I will put my laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts: and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people:
11 And they shall not teach every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for all shall know me, from the least to the greatest.
12 For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more.

For those in His new covenant, the Lord remembers our sins and our iniquities no more.

The important questions are Whom do we know? Has His laws been written in our hearts? Are they in our minds? Are we in His new covenant?
