:JUST FORGIVE.
God never tells any to "forgive and forget",but forgive!!!Have you been hurt, wronged, etc by someone in anyway, ALL you're asked to do is"Forgive" and then let God do the rest. Saying "forgive and forget" makes the whole thing burdensome and sometimes difficult to even initiate; and mind you,"forgive and forget" is not in our scripture. Pals, we do ourselves a favor because harboring bitterness and unforgiveness can sometimes destroy our health!So just forgive and let God take care of the rest. When you really forgive, sometimes, He makes you forget. But sometimes, you still remember the incident because it was a major thing in your life. Yet, when you look back at it, the pain is no more there. The sting is gone and you are not bitter. Joseph had forgiven his brothers before they came and bowed before him. He remembered what they did to him, but he did not remember it with bitterness. (Genesis 50:15–21) So you may remember the incident, but the bitterness is gone because you have put the cross in the picture—“God in Christ forgave me. Daddy,I forgive you. Mama, I forgive you. My cousin, I forgive you.”When you forgive, forgive by faith, not by your feelings. We walk by faith, not feelings. (2 Corinthians 5:7) Some people are waiting for feelings—“I am waiting, Father, for the right emotion to come on me to forgive that person.” That “right emotion” may never come!No, forgive by faith, and do it once and for all. Spend time in prayer. Take out your diary and write it down: “Father, I bring this person before you. You know what he did to me. Father, as You forgave me through Jesus’ cross, even though I did not deserve it, by faith, I now forgive this person and I let my anger against him go in Jesus’ name. Amen!”Once you forgive by faith, you will see the sting of bitterness removed from your heart;You will experience the peace and joy of God filling your mind;
You'll have room to love, and see a greater measure of wholeness in your body!
