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
WHAT FORGIVENESS IS NOT
FORGIVENESS DOES NOT DESTROY OUR MEMORY.
Continuing from where we stopped.
...How do we handle painful memories on our subconscious mind?
My suggestion is that you take them to God and say, "Father, you know what I am remembering and you know the feelings that I have. But thank you that all of that has been forgiven. Now help me to do something today that will enhance our relationship."
In this prayer you are affirming the decision to forgive and you are seeking to foster growth in the future.
Secondly, forgiveness does not remove all the consequences of wrongdoing.
For example, a mother has saved money for surgery. Her son steals it and spends on drugs. If he sincerely apologizes, she can forgive him but the money is still gone. A father abandons his wife and children. Twenty years time, he comes back to apologize. They can forgive him but it does not restore the twenty lost years.
All our behavior has consequences. positive behavior has positive consequences while negative has negative consequences. Forgiveness does not remove all the consequences of wrongdoing.
Thanks for following.
To be Continued.
