17 And it came to pass that as I was thus aracked with torment, while I was bharrowed up by the cmemory of my many sins, behold, I dremembered also to have heard my father prophesy unto the people concerning the coming of one Jesus Christ, a Son of God, to atone for the sins of the world.
18 Now, as my mind caught hold upon this thought, I cried within my heart: O Jesus, thou Son of God, ahave mercy on me, who ambin the cgall of bitterness, and am encircled about by the everlasting dchains of edeath.
19 And now, behold, when I thought this, I could remember myapains bno more; yea, I was harrowed up by the memory of my sins no more.
20 And oh, what ajoy, and what marvelous light I did behold; yea, my soul was filled with joy as exceeding as was my pain!
21 Yea, I say unto you, my son, that there could be nothing so exquisite and so bitter as were my pains. Yea, and again I say unto you, my son, that on the other hand, there can be nothing so exquisite and sweet as was my joy.

"We still remember our mistakes, but they no longer cause us pain when we feel we have been forgiven."
Amanda Brock:
I love scriptures referring to the Atonement and to Repentance because none of us here on earth are perfect. All of us have been through trials and temptations and sometimes we have given in. But, we have the Atoning sacrifice of the Savior to forgive us of our sins. Because we repent and go through the repentance process, Heavenly Father and the Savior "forget" our sins. They do not count any longer. This is extremely powerful. This is the way that we are going to be able to be saved.
