Good afternoon Col Burroughs and all of my brothers and sisters here on VFV. We are fooling ourselves if we we say we forgive others like God has forgiven us if we do not also forget the grievances against us. Have a blessed day today and always.

The phrase “forgive and forget” is not found in the Bible. However, there are numerous verses commanding us to “forgive one another” (e.g., Matthew 6:14 and Ephesians 4:32).
