Building Healthy Families:  I can forgive you, but I will never forget what you did. Have you ever said this to someone or heard someone say this to you? YIKES! Certainly, this is not the type of love that God has shown us in our relationship with Him. If you, O LORD, kept a record of sins, O LORD, who could stand? Spend some time this week praying for healing for the relationship in your life which still carries unforgiven past hurts. Remember that you are a child of God who has received His forgiveness. He both forgives…and forgets! Lutheran Family Service
