This only is denied even to God: the power to undo the past

In the past I've been a little nervous. This year I had a calm feeling. Truly I think God gave me the confidence. I just put my trust in God completely.

It has been said that though God cannot alter the past, historians can; it is perhaps because they can be useful to Him in this respect that He tolerates their existence

As we experience this love, there is a temptation at times to become hostile to our earlier understandings, feeling embarrassed that we were so "simple" or "naive," or "brainwashed" or whatever terms arise when we haven't come to terms with our own story. These past understandings aren't to be denied or dismissed; they're to be embraced. Those experiences belong. Love demands that they belong. That's where we were at that point in our life and God met us there. Those moments were necessary for us to arrive here, at this place at this time, as we are. Love frees us to embrace all of our history, the history in which all things are being made new.

If you obey, you will be a brother in religion, and God will pardon the past.

One reason God created time was so that there would be a place to bury the failures of the past.
