Will you easily forget the one you forgive?

Have you ever hear the saying that goes this way: "forgive and forget!" This is easily said than done, the truth is, its realy easy to forgive someone no matter how painful the things they've done to you. When they say sorry our melts right then and there and we right away says... forget about it..you are already forgiven. But...on the other hand... It's really hard to forget of what they have done to us. Years may pass but still the memory keeps coming back. Good for you if you're is free indeed because you may remember what happen but your heart is already free. As a song says; I remember the boy but I dont remember the feelings anymore! Its good if its like that...but, if not...well, you need to brace yourself or else th next time you know....the damage has been done again.

I will agree that you can easily forgive someone but its hard to forget. I don't want to go into detail but there are alot of things that I have forgived but never mention to the specific person. Its hard to forget and it hurts me sometimes.

Yes. I do have a lot of hurtful memories. And I have forgiven the people that caused those. But still there are times that the memories comes back and there's nothing I can do about it but thibk of something better to drive away the memories.

I agree with you carmel, there are instances in our lives that it is easy to forgive but hard to forget especially when the pain is so deep but I also believe in the saying that time heal all wounds so we all need time to forget.

Yep! I remember a syaing that says...time eases the pain. Sometimes I have to let out a loud cry just to let go of the memories. Its hard but I do believe God allow things to happen for His greater purpose. Thanks for posting a comment.
