"When you speak in His presence about your past sins, He does not even understand your language. Only the present and the future have any interest for Him. … .I have committed crimes and have blood on my conscience. I told Jesus about it again and again. But because He had long ago washed all this away, there was no possibility of communication between us. He did not understand what I was talking about."
