I’ve heard so many people say I forgive but I can’t forget what they did. They justify it by saying they can’t allow someone to keep hurting them. I agree 100% However, if you haven’t forgotten you haven’t forgiven. True forgiveness means it’s no longer in your heart therefore it would not be on your mind either.
Could you imagine if Jesus took that position with you? He, in fact, tells us the opposite.
Isaiah 43:25 – “I, even I, am he that blotteth out thy transgressions for mine own sake, and will not remember thy sins.”
Hebrews 10:17, NLT
Then he says, “I will never again remember their sins and lawless deeds.
Hebrews 8:12, NLT
And I will forgive their wickedness, and I will never again remember their sins.
This is truth for there is no lie in God for He is the TRUTH, the WAY, the LIFE!!!!!
