I was busy in the kitchen cleaning up and suddenly a thought of someone who I forgave almost a year ago came into my mind. The situation was hurtful. I have totally forgotten about the situation and that person.
The random thought came and I was entertaining and playing the whole scenario in my head for 2-3 minutes and then I realized that I have already forgiven her and moved on and I don’t have to receive that offense ALL OVER AGAIN.
Immediately, I stopped and said, “No, I am not receiving this.” And I decided that the whole random thought stops there! And it did!!! And I totally feel good after that 🙂
The reason why I am writing this down is to help some people who thinks that they didn’t forgive properly. Just because random thoughts about the same situation comes back doesn’t mean that you did not forgive properly. The enemy can cause us to receive the same offense all over again. And feeling hurt. If you let him. So be careful of your thought life! Forgiveness does not mean forgetfulness. There is no amnesia. We just don’t remember it so clearly and often and when you think about it, it doesn’t hurt.
But having said that, if you really think that you need to forgive again, just do it! There is just additional 2 mins of DRN.
You don’t have to be hurt either way!
