Awesome passage that displays a range of emotions that God expresses towards us. God's love calms us...
I love reading parallel passages. One version says that God will not speak of our pasts nor recall them. Another describes God calming all of our fears.
I think about a time when my son was an infant. A friend of mine showed me a way to quiet my son's cries. Cole would cry if he was irritated, bothered, tired or afraid. But, he showed me a way to calm him quickly.
He told me to hold his chest against my own so we could feel each other's heartbeat. Every time he'd cry, I'd remember to hold his chest next to mine until I could feel his heartbeat and he could feel mine.
It's the same way with our relationship with God. When we are praying to him, reading his Scriptures...we are more apt to feel his heartbeat. To be quieted in love and to have our fears calmed.
