Forgive – and forget?

We cannot ask God to forgive, count us good,
if we will not pardon those whom we should.
When choosing to not remember our sins,
it’s as if He the lot into oceans flings.

Sometimes we just can’t pretend we’ve forgot
but if we forgive, then we must try to live
not bringing to mind past injuries unkind,
so glad of the grace in our Father to be.

“Forgive us our sins as we forgive those who sin against us” The Lord’s Prayer Matthew 6:12-15
