"Lord, teach us to pray...." Love's Forgetfulness

"Why do you keep talking about my past mistakes?" said the husband. "I thought you had forgiven and forgotten."

"I have indeed, forgiven and forgotten," said the wife. "But I want to make sure you don't forget that I have forgiven and forgotten."

Sinner: "Remember not my sins, O Lord!"

Lord: "What sins? You'll have to prod my memory. I forgot them long ago."

Love keeps no record of wrongs (1 Corinthians 13).

(Anthony de Mello, The Song of the Bird, page 123)
