Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous, it does not brag. and it is not proud. Love is not rude, is not selfish and does not get upset with others. Love does not count up wrongs that have been done. Love is not happy with evil but is happy with the truth. Love patiently accepts all things. It always trust, always hopes, and always remains strong.

Resentment is the resort of small people. Not everyone deserves forgiving, but harboring resentment means that you are wasting the precious moments of your life dwelling on a bad point or period in the past. The past is past, it is silly to allow something that made you unhappy then to continue to make you unhappy by dwelling on it. I do not propose, however, that it is necessary to go up to the person/people who hurt you and give them your forgiveness, though. Whatever they have done is on their own conscience and it's up to them to work it out for themselves.

It is much far better to accept the things that happened. You can forgive but it is impossible to forget and yet it is possible to accept thsoe things that happened may be set aside and go on to live anew. Just like a jilted love that can be accepted as fate so the agrieved can work to find a new love.

Yes, it is far better to forgive and forget then it is to resent and remember. Holding resentment and remembering how people have hurt another takes time and energy. If you allow all the past offenses to go, you have the room in your mental psyche to let worthwhile things to come into your life. Just learn from it all and move on

It is much easier for me to forgive than to forget. I always think to myself that if I forget what a person has done, that I'll allow that person to do it again. Love is patient and kind, I agree. But, when someone wrongs you more than 7 times 70, it's time to cut your ties with them, which, sadly, I had to do with my half sister who is a druggy and wants to stay a druggy. So, in cases like hers, you can forgive, but are wise not to forget or she'll take you for everything you own!

Living with resentment is the hardest and biggest grudge to bear. It eats away at your soul, you core. If you fill your world with disarray or judgement of others you are not following the path that Jesus has given His life for. Thank you for bringing me back to where I needed to be.

Yes it is far better to forgive and forget... That's exactly what God did with our sin... He forgave us our transgressions and separated us from our sin, never to remember it again.
God Bless!
