Learn to Forgive and Forget


In life, there are certainly disagreements and conflicts because of
Differing views

Forgiveness

A story tells that two friends were walking through
In the desert. In a specific point of the journey, they had an
Argument and one friend
Slapped the other friend in his face.

The one, who got slap, was hurt, but without
Say anything, he
Wrote in the sand: TODAY, MY BEST FRIEND SLAPPED MY FACE

They kept on walking, until they found a lake,
Where they decided to take a bath.
The one who got slap and hurt started drowning,
And the other friend saved him.
When he recovered from the fright, he wrote on a stone: "TODAY MY BEST FRIEND HAS SAVED MY LIFE".


The friend who saved and slapped his best friend,
asked him, "Why,
after I hurt you, you wrote in the sand, and now
you write on a stone?"

The other friend, smiling and replied: "When a friend
hurt us, we should
write it down in the sand, where the winds of forgiveness comes and erasing it away;
and when something great happens in our lifes,
we should engrave it
in the stone of  memory of the heart, so that no wind can erase it".

"Learn to write in the sand"

Col 3:13  Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye.
