Hebrew 13:1-2


Let brotherly love continue.
Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for thereby some have entertained Angels unawares.

REMEMBER

I still learn something new everyday, and at my age I'm even relearning. I have gotten to a point in my life I longed for: to be able to forgive and forget. I used to hold grudges and not let people forget how they wronged me. I was doing myself just as much injustice as I was some undeserving people. 
I am thankful that I'm at this point. Now, I just have to make sure I don't do myself a different type of injustice. I'm so quick to forgive and move on that I often forget why I pulled away from someone or kicked them to the curb in the first place. We know when we lose we're not supposed to lose the lesson. That's essentially what I'm doing. So today I relearned that lesson. I have to remember how trustworthy I have become, mostly unto myself, and know that even if I can't remember why I kicked someone outside of the tight-knit circle, that I did so for a good reason and there must be significant, unquestionable change in their life and behavior before I allow them back across the line.
