Divine Forgetfulness

For humans, forgetfulness can be frustrating and worrisome. Yet it can be a blessing to be able to forget certain things.
The late professor and author Gerhard E. Frost noted that “forgiveness is a beautiful form of forgetfulness” — a heaven-sent absent-mindedness.
For what is failure to forgive but the refusal to release a memory of someone’s hurtful actions? Decide now to release old grudges and choose to forget past wrongs.   “Make allowance for each other’s faults, and forgive anyone who offends you. Remember, the Lord forgave you, so you must forgive others.”  Colossians 3:13
