Amy Charmichael, a woman who served in Ireland over the past 55 years, India including a prolific writer. In one of his book, If (1953), he wrote: If I say, "Yes, I forgive your doings, but can not forget it," as if God, who twice a day washed away all the sand on all the beaches on the entire face of the Earth, it cannot be washed away bad memories of that sort of my mind, then I don't know nothing about love of Calvary.
Calvary's love of God's forgiveness showed remarkable for humans should be destroyed. Note the reprimand of God through Isaiah: people have memberati God by sin, sadden him with errors (paragraph 24). Very fair if they are destroyed. However, God wills to remove their sin, and no longer mengingat-ingatnya (verse 25). Isn't God Maha Reminder? It's unlikely She forgot their rebellion. She is not "relived" shows that he is not going to increase it's sins are opposed to and judge them.
"Forgive" often become obstacles for many people. When feeling hurt, treated unfairly, harmed or betrayed, oftentimes we keep anger against those who hurt us, even vengeful. Maybe we say that we are willing to forgive, but not our hearts. Who are we? The people who should be on and destroyed! However, God is willing to forgive us and forget our sins! More hebatkah us from God so that we don't have to forgive our neighbor and forget his mistakes? Harapkanlah gift and help him, then forgive and lupakanlah. --SAR
