Forgiving and Forgetting
Forgiving and forgetting seems to be a concept that some grapple with. Believe me, I understand. Some of us carry wounds so deep that we’ll struggle in pain for the rest of our lives. But we as Christians are on a journey to become more like Christ. Every day we walk the face of this earth we will lean upon the grace, mercy and forgiveness of God. How would it change our perspective and relationship with God if our sins were forgiven, but not forgotten? If having a loving Father who makes the choice daily to forgive and forget my sins, how can I, in good conscience turn around and tell you that I’ll forgive you, but I won’t forget what you did to me? Just a little food for thought.
