Love Always Forgives!

Love not only forgives but Forgets wrongs and remembers the good.
This is the love of God,who breathed Himself into us,who has made us in His own image and likeness.
Forgiveness is a choice,God chose to forgive us and and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness,by paying for the price of sin which is death.

We hear people say you can forgive but don't forget.That is not what God wants us to do.
Just as we chose to forgive, we can choose to forget!To overcome the emotions of hurt,and forgiving someone,you have to remind yourself that you have forgiven that person and speak forgiveness over the person, that wronged you.Remember it's a choice you made
The same way we forget the wrongs of others,by making a choice and speaking ,declaring that you choose to forget.

When we sin ,and ask God to forgive us He is faithful and just to forgive us and cleanse us of all unrighteousness. He chooses to blot out our sin from His rememberance.
When we do this ,there is still the feeling of guilt of the sin,wrong that we have done.
How do we overcome this? The same way we choose to forgive others,not based on our emotions,is the same way we recieve forgiveness.God has given us His Word that he has,all we have to do is recieve it and thank Him.

Having said this,in my own life i have experienced the love of God, our Father.

Some years back,i married a young beautiful lady,whose dream was to have a family that would love and serve God. In actual fact a friend of hers asked her ,what was her dream as a young bride, her answer was ,all i want is for me and my family to serve The Lord.
As our marriage progressed ,i started drinking to be scociaable,which progressed,to where i became an alcoholic!and with that a lot saying and doing wrong things.My wife threatened to leave me ,as she could not take that type of life.Many times i asked her forgiveness ,and promised that i would stop drinking,and the life that went with it.In my heart i sincerely meant it,i made promises i could not keep,there were times that i would stop for six months ,three months , a month ,a week a day and even less.I remember once where i made such a promise and my words were not even cold,one of my brother inlaws walks in ,and puts a bottle of Brandy on the table.He greets me and says lets have a drink, i look at my wife ,i look at him and the bottle and could not resist,with tears running down my wifes face,i still could not resist.
There came a point where she said Paul i can't take this life anymore,I want a devorce,i agreed with her,knowing that i could not keep my promises,even though i loved her.
