“Therefore, repent and be converted, so that your sins may be wiped out, and that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord” (Acts 3:19).
Memory is a gift given by God — but it will also be a witness on the great day. Many try to forget the mistakes of the past, burying what they did wrong as if time had the power to erase it. But if the blood of the Son of God has not erased those marks, the moment will come when God Himself will say, “Remember,” and everything will return in an instant, with the weight and pain we once tried to ignore.
There will be no need for anyone to accuse us — our own conscience will speak loudly. And the only way to find true rest is to obey the wonderful Law of God and allow Him to lead us to the Savior. It is not a superficial obedience, but a real surrender, which recognizes the danger of guilt and the immeasurable value of the forgiveness that only the Son can grant. The Father does not send rebels to the Son — He sends those who, touched by the truth, decide to walk in His sublime ways.
Today is the day to align yourself with the Lord’s commandments and to prepare your heart to stand before Him without fear, with a soul washed and at peace. May our memory, on the appointed day, not be an accusation — but a testimony of a life of obedience and transformation. -Adapted from D. L. Moody Until tomorrow, if the Lord allows us.
Pray with me: My God, You know all my ways. There is nothing hidden from Your eyes, and I know that one day all things will come to light. Teach me to live with a clean heart before You, without deceiving myself with excuses or forgetfulness.
Help me to value every opportunity I have to obey and to walk in Your way. May Your Spirit show me what needs to be corrected and give me strength to remain steadfast, with sincerity and reverence.
Oh, faithful Father, I thank You for warning me about the weight of memory and the value of forgiveness. Your beloved Son is my eternal Prince and Savior. Your powerful Law is the mirror that reveals the truth about who I am. Your commandments are the safe path to a peaceful conscience. I pray in the precious name of Jesus, amen.
