And what about that saying, Forgive and forget? That’s actually not in the Bible. You can still forgive even if you can’t forget. We are instructed to let go of what’s behind us so we can move forward without the weight of bitterness, resentment, anger, and unforgiveness. But forgetting? The only place that’s mentioned in the Bible is connected to God forgiving us of our sins: “For I will be merciful toward their iniquities, and I will remember their sins no more” (Hebrews 8:12 ESV).
