Colossians 3:13 ESV - Bearing with one another and, if one has a complaint against another, forgiving each other; as the Lord has forgiven you, so you also must forgive.
Clara Barton, founder of the American Red Cross, was reminded one day of a vicious deed that someone had done to her years before. But she acted as if she had never even heard of the incident. "Don't you remember it?" her friend asked. "No," came Barton's reply, "I distinctly remember forgetting it."
We are often working with people who are always around us and might have hurt us or offended us in some or the other ways. It becomes difficult in such a scenario to get going and exhibit Christ like nature.
But the only way out is to forgive and get going. If we continue to keep the burn in our hearts and continue to harbour the wound, it might end up harming us more than intended in the long run. Let's be people with the Christian Character to forgive and forget.
