Still, we're struggling to reach the goal. We have to forget what lies behind us, all our failures, all the things we shamefully admit in our confession. We have to throw it off and leave it by the wayside.
We don't have to drag it with us. We can forget it because God Himself forgets it and leaves it in the ocean of forgetfulness where anything is swallowed up by His inexhaustible forgiveness.
Bo Giertz, writing on Philippians 3:14, page 617 from "To Live With Christ."
