No Forgive Without Forget

I realized something today.  God forgives us unconditionally and He expects us to do the same to others.  I thought I was doing pretty good with that, but God also forgets the sin.  I never forget.  If I keep that in my heart, I'm not really forgiving.  I can still feel the hurt as if for the first time and that can cause anger all over again.  God doesn't want us to carry around that kind of burden.  Everyone of us deserves the full measure of judgment for our sins, but God forgives us.  If we want to continue to grow in the Holy Spirit and become more like Christ, we must do likewise.
