Book Review
THINGS I WISH I'D KNOWN BEFORE WE GOT MARRIED
Word Count
"Can two walk together, except they be agreed?" Amos:3:3
Chapter 6
Forgiveness is not a Feeling but a decision. We are instructed to forgive each other in the same way that God forgives us. It is a decision to offer grace instead of demanding justice. Forgiveness removes the barrier and opens the possibility for the relationship to grow.
Perhaps I could better explain forgiveness by sharing four things forgiveness does not do.
First, forgiveness does not destroy our memory. I have heard people say, "if you have not forgotten, you have not forgiveness." That statement is untrue. The human brain records every experience, good and bad, pleasant and unpleasant.
Human mind has two compartments. One is called conscious mind, and the other, the subconscious mind. The conscious mind is composed of those things that you are conscious of in this moment. For example, I am fully aware that at the moment I am sitting in a chair. The subconscious mind houses past experiences and stored in mental files.
Thanks for following.
To be Continued.
