Daily BITUB- "Forgive AND Forget"

I was having a discussion yesterday about forgiveness.  The person said to me they forgive, but they don't forget.  I used to think that was a good thing.  After all, you don't want to forget and allow things to happen again!  The thing is, holding on to those grudges won't help you carry on with what matters to you.  It doesn't change what happened, and honestly the burden is on you not them.  Forgiving must be all encompassing.  The burden of a grudge, the anger in a situation, the negative emotion can cloud you from clear decisions and hold you back from seeing that there is good in all things.  There are blessings to pick up if we lay down those grudges.  The dictionary says to forgive is to stop feeling angry or resentful toward (someone) for an offense, flaw, or mistake.  In order to stop completely, you must completely go in order to grow, and move on to things that are important to that growth. 

Believe in the Unbelievable that is YOU and have a blessed weekend!
