Forgetting and Forgiveness

[Guest guest]

Forgetting and ForgivenessThere is a big difference when it comes to forgetting and forgiveness. We must understand that forgetting a thing is like buried treasure,it can be dug back up, but forgiveness is like pulling up the roots to a weed: it can never grow back again.

Here are five things that distinguish the difference in the two.1. Forgetting the past can be brought back up to haunt you.

Forgiving self from the past cuts out all negative thinking that can arise in the future.2. Forgetting that a person hurt us is like deferred pain, because it can be brought back up to hurt us again.

Forgiveness removes the future pain of that memory.3. Forgetting a mistake without learning from it produces NOW procrastination.

Forgiveness acknowledges that I messed up and I'm going to grow from this situation.4. Forgetting to focus can cause confusion.

Forgiveness humbles us to the point where we understand that we cannot do anything without God.5. Forgetting a wrong act produces an option to do it again. Forgiveness repents and changes the wrong act and the direction of our thinking.We must understand that: Forgetting sin didn't set us free, forgiveness of sin did."Forgetting may set the soul loose for a moment; but forgiveness sets the soul free for a lifetime."

"It really doesn't matter if the person who hurt you, deserves to be forgiven. Forgiveness is a gift you give yourself. You have things to do and you want to move on."
