Remembered No More

A really good friend of mine sent me an email the other day. It was about the judgement day, and how the Savior will be there to take our sins upon Him. It was a really nice email, but it got me to thinking that so many people don't realize that when we repent we are forgiven and our sins are forgotten, as it states in D&C 58:42: “Behold, he who has repented of his sins, the same is forgiven, and I, the Lord, remember them no more.” 

There was a time in my life when I thought that my sins would all be laid out for everyone to view when I approached the judgement bar - but I don't believe that to be true. I believe that when we have repented, and changed who we are, those sins are no longer a part of us - which means there is no reason for them to be viewed, since He "remember(s) them no more". What a comforting thought. So, I wrote this poem this morning in hopes of sharing these feelings:

Remembered No More

approaching the Courtroom

feeling fearful, exposed,

somewhat uncertain

of how i will be judged -

knowing my life,

understanding the severity

of wrong decisions -

even transgressions...

picturing in my mind

a movie of my life

displayed for all to view.

reluctantly, I take my place

and wait

as i, too, am invited

to view my life.

fear turns into Peace,

uncertainty to Certainty -
to Strength,

even Joy.

For all that is shown

Are the Right choices I made.

My heart is full

of Gratitude,

As I realize

My sins have been Forgiven and Forgotten,

for they are

Remembered No More.
