I Am Struggling With Forgiveness

How to forgive if you can not forget? I could never get this one right.

Forgiveness is understanding that we are highly flawed creatures. Like a couple others said we don't truly ever forget. We just move on because it's exhausting to stay so on guard.

it's not easy...repetition is the way that i do it. Each time incidents or people enter my mind, I openly say "I forgive you"..of course, feelings hardly ever go away the first time i say this, but eventually they do..just takes time

Forgiving only means forgetting when's Jesus's behind it. When I forgive I don't see the need to forget, I just let it go and don't hold grudges

Anything meaningful you will not forget. As far as forgiveness that is a personal thing. Whether I forgive or not I am not going to live in the past

The only thing left in such cases it to try to see it in a different context.
And we can forget but not forgive. I find it a burden. Too much of that.
I have no idea i was born with a natural abilty that wont allow me to hold a grudge gets annoying some times xd
@BradBones2003: that's too much work. I'm already worrying about my part now i should worry about theirs too? Phew! 😅
@Pretty-Little-Liar: we in that case better lock in in your pocket.
@BradBones2003: Lol

By not forgiving you are punishing yourself for something that someone else has done. Always forgive, but never forget. If you forget, you might put yourself in the same situation again..

Always forgive, never forget.

@Pretty-Little-Liar: That's to remind you not to let it happen again.

@hunkalove: not to let anyone close ever again
@TheNewMan: right!
The problem is if you don't forget you'll keep hurting

You dont forget, you just forgive and then focus on other things.
