1 Corinthians: 13-5.  It is not rude.  It is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps
                                  no record of wrongs.

Have you ever tried to forgive someone  and found you simply couldn't do it?  You have cried
about it and prayed about it and asked God to help you, but those old feelings of
resentment just failed to go away.

Actually true forgiveness  does not have anything at all to do with how you feel.  It's
it's an act of the will.  It is based on obedience to God and on faith in Him.

That means once you have forgiven a person, you need to consider them permanently
forgiven!  When old feelings rise up within you and Satan tries to convince you that you
have not really forgiven them, resist him.  Say No, I have already forgiven that person by faith.  I
refuse to dwell on those old things.

1 John: 1-9. Says believe that you receive forgiveness and cleansing from the sin of unrighteousness
associated with it - including any rememberacne of having been wronged!

You as a believer are never suppose to settle - for you are to forgive supernaturally,  for God for
Christ's sake has forgiven you.  (Ephesians 4-32).

You are to forgive as god forgives.  To release that person from guilt permanently and unconditionally
and to operate as if nothing bad ever happened between you,  you are to forgive as well as forget.

As you do that. something supernatural will happen within you.  The pain. Once caused by the incident will disappear.  The power of God will wash away the effects of it.

Learn to forgive and forget.  It will open a whole new world of blessing for you.
