the vow.

I went to see a movie with a friend on Valentines’ Day. The movie The Vow was about a couple getting in a car accident and the woman had a brain aneurism that caused her to forget who she was and everything about her current lifestyle. She remembered high school but nothing past that. When her husband approached her as she was waking up in the hospital she freaked out. She didn’t know him. He finally convinced her to at least try coming home with him to see if she would remember their life together. When she got up in the morning she would ask him what she usually did, what she ate, what she liked, what her hobbies were, who she talked to, how she liked her coffee.. He joyfully and intimately explained to her everything about her. This is how God is to us. We forget everything in the past; he wipes the slate clean and then intimately explains to us who we are in Him.
