Share some interesting geography fact.. which i happen to discover while reading through this passage. And its quite true.. If you are free you can look it up at the america map.

They Never Meet

Did you know that the farthest point east and the farthest point west in the United States are both in Alaska? It’s a geographical trick, actually. Pochnoi Point in the Aleutians is as far west as you can go and still be in the US. But if you travel a few miles farther west, you’ll end up at Alaska’s Amatignak Island. Because that spot is west of the 180th meridian separating the Eastern and Western Hemispheres, it is technically east of the rest of the US.

But you’ll never find a spot where east and west are actually next to each other. In going west, you never “find” east. East goes on forever. West goes on forever. They never meet. You can’t get farther from something than that.

What difference does this make? Just this: When you read in Scripture that your forgiven sins are separated from you “as far as the east is from the west” (Ps. 103:12), you are assured that they are an immeasurable distance away—gone forever. If that’s not enough, try this: God says, “I, even I, am He who blots out your transgressions for My own sake; and I will not remember your sins” (Isa. 43:25).

Concerned about your sins? Through Jesus’ death on the cross, God is able to say, “What sins?” But He will do that only if you put your faith in His Son. — Dave Branon

“Oh, East is East, and West is West,
And never the twain shall meet.”
So far has God removed our sins:
Salvation is complete. —Hess

We invite defeat when we remember what we should forget.

Interesting fact isn't it.. East and West will never meet.

There is also another saying, "We must always learn from our mistakes."; "No one will fall into the same ditch twice".
