Powerful thought

Jesus was able to see potential in the woman at the well that we could never have sensed. What a gracious thing for us that Jesus Christ never thinks about what we have been! He always thinks about what we are going to be. Jesus Christ cares absolutely nothing about anyone's moral case history. He forgives it and starts from there as though the person had been born one minute before. Tozer

How many times do we look at a person and think about how bad they were instead of seeing where they are today. When that happens, we need to look at where we were compared to where we are today. We tend to get down on someone else, but let our past slide. The past is the past, if we cannot forgive others then God cannot forgive us.
