But what a relief if God looks at you and He doesn't see every failing. I mean, isn't that incredible? He's willing to throw your failings behind you and into the sea of forgetfulness. He loves you to your core.

Let's say that you are a spectacular moral failure and everybody knows it. Like your family knows it, people around it. It's humiliating.
