A Pastor in the Philippines, ......a much-loved man of God ......carried the burden of a secret sin that he had committed ... many years before.

He had repented ... but still had no peace, ......no sense ...of God's forgiveness.

In his parish ... there was a woman ......who deeply loved God ......and who had visions ......in which ...she spoke with God ...and he ... with her.

The Pastor, however, ... was somewhat skeptical.

To see if it was true, ... he asked her, ......"The next time you speak with God, ...I want you to ask him ...what sin your pastor committed ...while he was in seminary."

The woman agreed.

A few days later the pastor saw her and asked., ..."Well, did God visit you ... with a vision?"

"Yes, he did," ...she replied.

"And did you ask him what sin I committed in seminary?" ......"Yes, I did."

"Well, ... what did he say?"

"He said... ' Tell him ...... I don't remember'".

Beloved... Take heart -- Hear God's Word:

BIBLE "As far as the east is from the west, ... so far does God remove our transgressions ... from us." And the Scriptures go on ...... "You (O God) ... will cast all our sins ...into the depths of the sea." END (Psalm 103:12-14) (Micah 7:19)
