"Sometimes, you have to forget what you want to remember what you deserve."
Yep, darn straight! Sometimes we have to forget that we want everything in the world, and everything good anyone else has, and all the money, and all the perfect relationships, and all the social status, and all the promotions, and all the friends, and all the objects that we think will make us feel happy and accomplished; so we can remember that we deserve no more than what we all have coming: the day when all of this here will come to an end, and that we actually deserve a much worse reality than what we could ever imagine, because we're a rotting species and we do rotten things, and evil is planted inside us, and we know it, and we are rebels for giving it space to grow; and only when we remember all this, will we be able to appreciate the Grace of God, the way He showed us His love for us, by giving His perfect Son to pay a sacrifice that we were supposed to pay and now don't have to, because our Holy, Holy, Holy Lord has made us as an unpayable offering so that we could become His children and live with Him Forever.
Even though I suppose that's not what they meant when they said the quote.
