forgive and forget

If you are of the world, it is very difficult to forgive and forget. The world wants satisfaction for wrongs done to it. The problem with unforgiveness is that it is more harmful to the one who refuses to forgive than to the one who isn't getting forgiveness. Unforgiveness promotes dis-ease in a person which can lead to physical problems. If you want your soul to be at peace, you have to be willing to forgive and never mention the incident again.

WEll, for me, if I have really forgiven a person from his mistake I usually forget it. If I dont forget about it (meaning I always think about it or remind him about it) it means I haven't forgiven him yet. Its okay to remember a mistake to learn from that mistake/situation, as long as you will not magnify it and make it so big again.

I have truly forgiven people for things but can't forget them. I think the Lord made us this way so we can learn from such situations. Just because you can't forget an offense doesn't mean you have to harbor ill will toward another because of it.

It is true that it is easy to forgive but not to forget. There will always be the thought of caution which is not bad.

Your not understanding the meaning of forgive and forget. You comprehended the forgive part, but I'll teach you the forget part. By forget part, it has two meanings. Pretend someone accidentally spilled coffee on your favorite shirt. You forgive the person, and forgot what happened because it wasn't serious. If something big happens like, your husband/wife abuses you, and you have it in your heart to forgive him/her. You will never forget the moment, but you will not mention it other. The second meaning of forget means to not mention the incident. I hope this cleared it up.

it's not easy to forgive when we dont try to forget. but it's easier to forgive than to forget. But it's easier to forget when we forgive. Life is so sort, dont let anger drive us.. :)
