Let go and let God

New year mode!!.. Really want to relax and enjoy holiday.. I watched Freedomland just now.. It's kinda boring actually.. but I managed to finish that movie.. It tells story about a mom who lost his child, and the main character Samuel Jackson told her, sometimes we have to just let go and let God..

It's one of the answer for my previous post.. How to release from keterikatan? Probably you have to let it go and let God.. We could not forget what happened in past.. Somebody told me, that she can forgive her friend, but could not forget what her friend did.. Jesus never taught us to forget 'our enemies sin', but to love 'our enemies'.. Of course it's easier to forgive and forget.. However, our memories will still exist and that's the challenge for Christian to forgive.. It's impossible for us to forget a terrible thing that happened.. Our memories also 'prove' there is eternity indeed.. Therefore, forgiving is also in a process of time..

When we forgived others, it is probably not a 'complete forgiving'.. Our forgiving attitude and heart has to be sanctified day by day.. Have you experienced when let say you have forgived someone, but in the next days you remind him about his mistake? Or you forgived him yesterday, but hate him today? Forgiveness is a process since we are not perfect.. Therefore, we should learn humbly to forgive others..
