HOW TO FORGIVE AND FORGET FOR GOOD.

Many people forgive but not everybody forgets, you may think you have forgotten the issue, but until you see the person in contention or the place of the event and you no longer feel bitter, you have not truly forgotten.

Forgiveness is not complete without forgetting. You need to forget as a proof that you have truly forgiven. But How You May Ask?

You cannot truly forget as you cannot delete the event from your memory. That betrayal, heart break, disappointment will always be in your memory. But you can change the way you now see the issue. This is how to truly forget; you must laugh about the issue when you remember it. See it like it happened for the better. You know when Joseph finally forgot what his brothers did to him was when he told them that God arranged the issue so as to take him to Egypt to preserve lives. They thought they were doing him evil but God turned it to good. Genesis 45:5.

Give that person a call to prove that you have forgiven and forgotten, send a text, if you don't know how to reach the person or if the person is dead, you can write an imaginary letter; addressed to the person and burn it. Unforgiveness does more harm to you than your offender. So forgive him or her now, forgive them. You will make tremendous progress today in Jesus precious name.

you are not expected to forget. forgive ? yes but forget ? thats very unbiblical. even the lord does not forget. ECCLESIASTES 3 VS 15[b] Whatever is has already been, and what will be has been before; and God will call the past to account.[/b]

another translation KJV of ECCLESIATES 3 VS 15 God requireth that which is past.

Prophet buzuzu-gee Hmmm so they should'nt forget right? Because the bible says so?

they should forget. it is healthy to forget. but it is not biblical to be expected to forget. like dont feel guilty just because you cant forget. the lord will not hold it against you, although for your sanity, its best to forget. depends on the magnitude of the offense against you though. like i am sure some things are easier to forget than others.

Exactly..your words on magnitude its quite true.

Jesus tells us to forgive only if those who offend us do repent.
Luke 17:3 "If another believer sins, rebuke that person; then if there is repentance, forgive.

If an unbeliver offends you then run for your own good.

Both forgiveness and the ability to forget are temporary emotions.
It only takes the right moments to make both reversible.

Thanks op.
Forgiving and forgetting require the help of the Holy Spirit. Humanly speaking it is almost impossible to do depending on the gravity of offense.
