We need to forget who we are: our past failures that we lament and self-crucify ourselves over, or our past social status accomplishments that we take false refuge in.

May God show His grace and mercy to us all, and may His light perpetually shine upon us from this day forth, even forerevermore, Selah and Amen0 in Jesus' name.

I am glad you qualified your comments with this because my personal experience this is not true. Although I do wonder if all the pain my father put my mom through God allowed this to let her get through the remainder of her life without having to remember the pain that had been caused her.
