FORGET IT



Philippians 3:13 Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before

TO FORGET:
•disregard an offense
•remove judgmental spirits within
•keep no score of wrongs
•ignore all good thing you yourself have preformed and expected thanks or recognition for


FORGETTING reminds me that , I too, have flaws which others could emphasize.
FORGETTING enables me to be big and encouraging, not petty and negative.
FORGETTING frees me to live for tomorrow rather than be hung up on yesterdays.
 


THE ART OF FORGETTING
Perhaps forgetting is not quite so fundamental as forgiving; for forgiveness is a grace, while forgetting is an art.
One must forgive to be good, but he must forget if he would be wise and useful and happy.
Yes, forgetting is an at implying practices just the opposite of remembering. Repetition, exaggeration, association, & imagination are all involved in memory methods.
But if you want to forget a thing, refuse to dwell upon it, minify it's importance,...
reduce it's rank, look at if from the perspective of things that really matter, make it inconsequential, finally isolate it, as the scientists do to disease germs in the laboratory.
Refuse to connect it with persons or motives, and positively forbid the imagination to dwell up it.
FORGET IT.
LEARN TO FORGET BY FORGETTING
FORGETTING IS AN ART

2 Corinthians 10:3 For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh, 4 for the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh, but divinely powerful for the destruction of fortresses. 5 We are destroying speculations and every lofty thing raised up against the knowledge of God, and we are taking every thought captive to the obedience of Christ,


The Battle Belongs to the Lord

I agree with not keeping a record of wrongs, it is God we sin against if we do this, and it is that written Word that is the judge of all - not man.

THE CROSS IS COMPLETELY ABOUT FORGIVING FOR SURE, BRENDA.

I TEST I'VE HAD TO TAKE MANY TIMES -- "FORGIVE THEM THEY KNOW NOT WHAT THEY DO"

MEANS FOR GIVE ME, TOO -- LORD OFTEN I POINT AT OTHERS -- AND THREE FINGERS POINT BACK AT ME!
