Many people believe forgiveness means erasing memory. As if healing requires pretending nothing happened. But the Bible never says that. In Hebrew, forgiveness is tied to nasa — to carry, to bear. Not to delete. Not to deny. To carry without letting bitterness decide the future. That matters, because many older believers feel trapped between faith and memory. They forgave spouses. Parents. Churches. Leaders. But the memories stayed. So they assume forgiveness failed. But Scripture never asks you to lose your memory. It asks you to release revenge. Remembering is not disobedience. It is part of being human. If you still remember what hurt you after all these years, that does not mean you failed at forgiveness. It may mean you forgave honestly, not cheaply. #BibleMisconceptions #Forgiveness #BiblicalHebrew #FaithAndHealing #DidYouKnow
