Forgiveness is another theme that kept coming up in my quiet time. I heard a Pastor recently describe the difference between reconciliation and forgiveness. They're not the same. You don't need to reconcile with someone to forgive them. I find this helpful.

I've heard a saying "I'll forgive, but never forget". I never understood that. How can a person forgive someone fully if they walk around for the rest of their lives not forgetting the grievance? We need to forget also, as the only one who gets hurt by holding onto the memory is the person holding on to the memory.

Learning to forgive ourselves for the way we have treated people or hurt others is also really important also.

Love you Jr., glad to see you posting again.

This might be a longer conversation than time and space will permit here but I am going to continue engaging the themes of forgiveness and mercy as we walk this path. I always need to be crystal clear that I am Jr. Fan. Not Jr. He is beyond our comprehension and would never be so arrogant as I can sometimes be.
