No, not
because God wipes your mind, but the beauty and excellence of this new place will
so overwhelm us that we won’t see any reason to remember the past. Our focus will be on the present (praise) and
the future (hope). Why wouldn’t we see a
co-worker in heaven and remember her and rejoice over being together in
heaven? Why wouldn’t we meet a family
member or the person who led us to the Lord and remember them? But there won’t be any need to dwell on the
past hurts.
