I agree for the most part, though there are times when forgetting is not always best for guarding your heart. You want to forgive those that hurt you, but you don't always want to put yourself in the same position to be hurt again by someone who does not want to change. You don't want to set yourself up to hurt again. If however you are forgiving someone who is truly repentant of what they have done, then yes you should give that person another chance.Forgive and forget or forgive and never forget?
If you haven't forgotten it have you really forgiven it?
Forgiveness is letting go of the wrong that's been done to you. Forgetting it is letting it be replaced by your own kindness and gentleness towards the one who has wronged you so that they in turn might reciprocate with kindness and gentleness God willing.
Either way, it's a positive thing for you and perhaps a positive thing for them.
And since our lives should be lived in the best possible way, forgiveness not only matters, it is essential.
How do you forgive them though? Especially if they're not sorry... Do you just let it go and stop thinking about it?Its letting go of negative emotions.When you choose to forgive those who hurt you,you take away their power.I remember I had to forgive someone who was not sorry.Thats strength...
Yes, you let it go and move on. You know you have forgiven them when the thought of it no longer produces negative feelings, or it doesn't upset you.How do you forgive them though? Especially if they're not sorry... Do you just let it go and stop thinking about it?
Perfect answer...Yes, you let it go and move on. You know you have forgiven them when the thought of it no longer produces negative feelings, or it doesn't upset you.
Forgive forget and move on so you won't be in a position for the repeat offense. Then if and when you come into contact with that person again you treat them with kindness and leniency and God willing they would do the same - but you don't have to take them as a bosom buddy.I agree for the most part, though there are times when forgetting is not always best for guarding your heart.
