Jeremiah 31:34
"No longer will they teach their neighbor, or say to one another, 'Know the LORD,' because they will all know me, from the least of them to the greatest," declares the LORD. "For I will forgive their wickedness and will remember their sins no more."
A preacher once said;
"WE MUST REMEMBER TO FORGET!"
He was preaching a sermon on FORGIVENESS!
Notice that I did not say
Forgiveness & Forgetfulness.
Why?
Because true forgiveness requires forgetfulness.
"IF WE CONTINUOUSLY FOCUS ON PAST WRONGS WE FAIL TO RELEASE THE FORGIVENESS NECESSARY THAT IS MEANT TO SET US FREE!"
"IN ORDER TO LOOK SOMEONE IN THE EYE THAT HAS WRONGED YOU THERE MUST BE FORGIVENESS!"
"ELSE RESENTMENT MAY CAUSE BITTERNESS TO GROW IN YOUR HEART!"
"FREEDOM REIGNS WHERE FORGIVENESS ABOUNDS!"
"BUT FREEDOM CAN ONLY EXIST WHERE THERE IS NO RECORD OF WRONGS!"
So now, we come back to this statement;
"WE MUST REMEMBER TO FORGET!"
Has someone wronged you?
Have you been trying to let it go?
Has it become a struggle?
Does their presence disturb you?
Does the mention of their name make you cringe?
"THEN, MAYBE, YOU HAVE FORGOTTEN TO REMEMBER TO FORGET!"
"THE REASON WE ARE ABLE TO ENJOY A FULLY RESTORED RELATIONSHIP WITH OUR HEAVENLY FATHER IS BECAUSE HE FORGOT WHAT HE REMEMBERED BY REMEMBERING TO FORGET!"
"LOVE'S ULTIMATE EXAMPLE IS NOT FORGIVENESS, BUT FORGETFULNESS OF SIN THAT BRINGS ABOUT FREEDOM TO FORGIVE!"
If you truly want freedom in your life;
"REMEMBER TO FORGET!"
Enjoy your day Family!!!
