How Far

"As far as the east is from the west, so far has he removed our transgressions from us." Psalm 103:12

Have you ever wondered how far the east is from the west? I became familiar with this verse a few years ago when I heard a song that mentioned God forgiving our sins and removing them as far as the east is from the west. My thoughts are that this is an immeasurable distance. No human could ever measure how far the east is from the west because it is impossible.
This verse shows us that God does the impossible by removing our sins from us so far that we are no longer associated with them. All we have to do is ask for God's forgiveness, and upon receiving that forgiveness those sins are no more.
Isn't that great!
