Forgiveness is a process.
You have to start by doing it and then you have to continue to walk in it.
Forgiving and forgetting are two, different things. Even when you’re mad or sad, you can give yourself the gift of forgiveness. Usually, to forgive is more for you than it is for the person you’re forgiving.
Forgiving helps you move on, not the other person.
God says He’ll forgive us and forget our sins. If God can forgive and forget, who are we to continue to remember past hurts that we say we’ve forgiven?
Forgiving begins the process. Forgetting transcends the process.
Now we have to ask ourselves, “What does it mean to forget?”
