We have always heard the saying "forgive and forget".  Whether or not it
says in the Bible to forgive and forget I don't remember.  However, the word
forget does not forget so that we never remember but rather, forget that we
not remember and alway the things to hamper or hinder us in any way.  Forget
so we don't hold it against someone.  It seems to me that forgiving and
forgetting go hand in hand.  When we forgive someone, it is given up, we do
not hold that thing against the one forgiven.  Now, forgiven, we can love
and have a relationship with that person without always remembering that
thing and holding it against them.
