Forgive and Forget

I remember when I saw this sort of personality analysis through your birth month. It says that July people can forgive but can never forget. I think it is true.

Just recently, I was hurt by someone who is so dear to me. It did effin hurt. I was so in rage. I wanted to shout. I wanted to revenge and all. But deep inside, my heart is crying. I was so disappointed that I gave my 100% trust and this is what I would get. I confronted that person and listened to the explanation. The person apologized for so many times. During that time, I felt that my anger lessened. All I felt was pain. I did cry that night and fell asleep.

This morning when I wake up, I prayed and solemnly talked to God. I asked him to guide me with whatever decisions that I will make. This afternoon, the person texted me and I dunno I just suddenly miss the old us. During the conversation, I advised him/her like the usual thing that I do. After that, he/she apologized again and then we laughed, talked, laughed and talked.

I know you’ll tell me that how can I easily forgive this person after all he/she has done. I dunno either. I really don’t know. Maybe if you really are a true friend, even that person has sinned, you would still accept him or her. Jesus taught us to forgive and forget. The reason why that I really don’t forget is that I learn from every experience. I always keep those lessons in mind to avoid getting hurt again.
