There has been a struggle in the Christian faith about Christians forgiving and forgetting the wrong that has been done to us. And a question that has been asked that why do painful memories keep lingering in our hearts? Why should I have had things keep slipping away?
We have been offered a profile answer and this is because of the essence of the Christ-like love that we believe and adore for each other. In Hebrews 8:12, God is a perfect being, always forgives us our sins. Showing mercy beyond the comparison of human, even when our sin is bigger. No matter how it is, He kept forgiving us.
This divine love was manifested in Romans 11:33. And this is like it started to also If God can forget all our iniquities and forgive us our sins, why do we always feel bitter and hold on grudges when we have been wronged for so long?
Brother Eli also attached this to his spiritual faith. Because that is not from God. But the one that frees hatred, division and strife among believers. As Christians, we are called to always embrace love. Let us release grudges and forgive one another fully.
Human memories always want to hold on to pain. But it is the manipulation from the evil forces that want us to keep driving on bitterness. Which is not good for the Christian faith. Because as believers, we are supposed to live in peace.
Let us embrace God's love. Let us forgive like God. Even though we are not perfect. And let us free ourselves from all those chains of resentment and bitterness. As we walk as believers in Christ's love, and forget about the pain that has lingered in our hearts for so long, then we are sure of healing and to live in peace in Christ.
