French Teacher

I saw my old French teacher in the supermarket parking lot. I hadn’t seen him in decades. Gaining eye contact with him, I declared, I’m one of your old French students.

He responded, “Yes, the one who skipped the French test and was seen getting on the bus that afternoon to go play a baseball game.”

That happened in 1967 and I was that perp.

He’ll never forget that and confronted me again 57 years later. I must have left a real impression on him.

Now God, on the other hand, is capable of forgetting all my transgressions.

Hebrews 10:17

Then he adds, “I will remember their sins and their lawless deeds no more.”

Psalm 139:7

Where can I go from Your Spirit?
Or where can I flee from Your presence?

My former teacher is a nice old man with a good memory. Thankfully, God chooses to erase some memories.

Give it some thought.
