Forgive And Forget.
It is not actually in the scriptures that we should forgive and forget, the Bible didn't literally write forget and I believe it is because when the Bible clearly says forgive, the forgiveness package ought to contain forgetting that they once offended us too, just like God didn't just forgive us, he forgets about our sin eternally.
Hebrews 8:12 KJVS
For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more.
As believers, We must forever as forget those who offends us. It is quite impossible to live without someone offending us, even if no one do you wrong or you didn't do wrong, some might easily misunderstand you, misquote you etc, when we realize someone is bitter against us or we are with some one, we must choose to forgive and let it go.
Forgiving others is a great way of of showing our love for others, it is a great form of humility, you are expressing to others that it is not about your ego, it is not about you but you want others to feel good too.
Some might say, there are some sins that are unforgivable, for example, sin against a body, a defilement etc but no matter how hard this can be, we must never lose sight of who we are and where we live from, we are believers! God's own son!! We live from the standpoint of what God has done in us and for us, we are not loving others because we are choleric, extrovert etc, the reality of the Spirit determines who we are and what we do, and gladly, we do confess that "we can do what he can do" a statement that is true, but should not be applicable when we want to heal alone but also when we want to forgive others!!
He forgave those who were nailing him, we can too!! I believe this so much!! And just like I beseeched us yesterday, let us Act this out.
Go to that person, chat him or her up, give them a call and let them know you are not mad at them again, they ask you why? Because that's who you are! You are a love being, and you are just simply living you!
Let us forgive and forget others, it is the will of God.
