280. Does forgiveness mean that I must "forgive and forget"?

Forgiveness does not mean having no memory of past wrongs. But we ask our Father in Heaven to free us from the anger and resentment that may accompany those memories. We relinquish them into His merciful hands and trust Him for healing over time.

1 Corinthians 13:4-5 Love ... is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful.
