the word forgiveness.

Forgive and Forget, Right? 

Maybe for you, but I don't work that way.

WARNING:

I probably have a different view on this than most people that read this, if you are one of those people, please do not tell me i am wrong for thinking this; i have my opinion and you have yours.

thanks. (:

Alright, here i go.

its one thing to forgive someone, and its one thing to forget. 

forgive, yes. forget, no.

dats my theory.

God shows us in so many scriptures of ways he shows forgiveness towards his disciples, and teaches them to show forgiveness towards others. 

I believe that forgiveness is one of the most important things. God expects us to follow in his footsteps, and look what he does for us, he forgives all of our sins. I look at it this way, everyone starts out with a clean white shirt, the more we sin the dirtier it gets. God is our stain remover, he cleanses our souls and forgives us for our sin. I bet if we were in God's shoes that we would not forgive and people would be walking around all nasty. Why not forgive someone? Give them a chance, God gives us 298452985248752984052475928470298759284752948752984752984 ect. chances, and we say we try to be more like him but not forgiving someone is not that. 

i have learned the hard way, 

you think that "revenge" will do the trick when only it hurts you both more, and it makes everything worse.  You lose what you had and you don't have the chance to even try to get it back. When you are done wrong its not our place to decide whether they deserve to be punished, they will be judged on judgement day and God will decide. 

Now for forget.

I do not forget.

I forgive, and allow you to try again, but i never forget. To me it seems like if you forget, you are not learning from your mistakes and you will continue to allow your mistakes to happen whether it be letting the wrong people in your life or doing a bad habbit.

In simpler terms: if you did me wrong, were cool; But i am never going to forget what was done.

--------------------------------

I was talking to someone today and they said: "how long did it take you to get over so and so?" and i answered, "i'm still not over it." 

This really hit me, when someone makes such an impact on your life, its impossible to forget. when someone affected you in such a way you think about it all the time.

when something affected you so deeply, you find ways to stumble upon it.

I cannot forget.

"Get rid of all bitterness, rage an danger, brawling and slander, along with every form of malice. Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other  just as Christ God forgave you."

Ephesians 4:31-32.
