Day 15 The Case of Forgetting and Remembering

Our minds are wired to remembering many things. We would wonder sometimes why pain is easier to remember, it is because it leaves scars. Those scars that's visually on the surface of our skin, that runs in the hearts, and unlike happy moments that only leave memories. 

Those painful experiences come easier to remember than that of good ones. Negative emotions generally involve more thinking, and the information is processed more thoroughly than positive ones. Thus, we tend to ruminate more about unpleasant events — and use stronger words to describe them — than happy ones.

The cure for forgetting is actually remembering, as opposing it may seem. Remembering the good things, thus shall require focus and thinking in the midst of pain and suffering. It is bringing to remembrance the many good things of we really are as the bible says we are. Remembering what needs to be done at the moment, putting ourselves to state of  present mindfulness rather than submerging ourselves on the mud of pain. In all this, healing will be faster. It is also good to remember the guidance of the Holy Spirit as it says
John 14:26
But the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you.

We cannot remember unless we are aware. Reading through to know, what does the bible says I am?
I am a child of God
Jesus conquered the world.
Life and peace can be found in Christ.
God has given us the Holy Spirit to guide us.

God is gracious and gives wisdom to those who ask.

God is close to the broker hearted.

Jesus is my saviour and deliverer.

Let’s do our best to remember that God is sovereign, God loves us, and who we are in the sight of God. In everything we do, let's do it for Him moment by moment and leave our worth for him to determine. And when we start feeling any pain, let’s fill our thoughts with truth again.
