no NM. God forgives us and forgets our transgressions.......
There is not forgiveness without forgetting.......otherwise when you get to Heaven, God will say "well I forgave you for XYZ......" making you feel like crap for what you've done, even though you've asked and been forgiven....
Exactly.
NM, if you SAID you forgave your W, and she repented and had forsaken her sins, you HAVE to forget or the sin remains - sadly it remains with you for not letting go of the transgression. Forgiveness isn't JUST for the sinner, it's for the sinned against - it's for your personal strength.
If W has returned to her sins, it is upon her head of course, but you have to forgive her again for your sake. Doesn't mean you take her back if you can't, it just means you don't allow her sins to sink your soul into dispair.
It is required of us to forgive all men all their trespasses - the Lord says 7X70 times.
Take a break NM, you really need it. Go outside and feel the sun on your face and think of the things you're grateful for today.
Good luck!!!
We can talk ourselves into defeat or we can talk ourselves into victory - we are creatures of our thinking.
