A year has passed, I hope you learn to forget!

This morning, I read that after Joseph became prime minister, he married Asenath, the daughter of Potiphera, the priest of On. Before the famine came, Joseph had two sons, and he named the eldest son "Manasseh".

This name is very meaningful, meaning "to make forget". He reminded himself in such a special way: "He made me forget all my hardships and my father's family."

What hardships had he suffered in the past? Why did he forget his family with such a resolute attitude? People who are familiar with that period of history know that all the sufferings he suffered were related to his family.

Once he was favored by his father and wore a very beautiful colorful dress every day; he once did not go along with his brothers and reported their evil deeds to his father so that his father could discipline them.

However, all this was not only not understood by his brothers, but also increased their hatred in their jealous psychology. In the end, they betrayed him, and after several twists and turns, he became a servant of the captain of the guard.

Unexpectedly, this kind of slavery was not long, and there was a greater suffering waiting for him: because of the mistress's false accusation, he was imprisoned, and in a blink of an eye, he spent the most precious time of his life.

When he reported his brothers' evil deeds to his father and was betrayed, he was only seventeen years old; when he walked out of the cage and stood in front of Pharaoh, he was thirty years old.

Thirteen years passed like this, and the hurt, humiliation, unbearable, pain, heartbreak, and the kind of pain that only he could deeply understand.

When he turned around, suffered hardships, and finally became the prime minister, how could he continue to cherish those unbearable years? Those memories are so heavy that every time I recall them, I will burst into tears. So, forget it!

In order to constantly remind himself to forget, he actually named his son "Forget", which shows how deeply that past experience hurt him!

Today is December 31, 2024. When we come to the last day of 2024 and are about to say goodbye to this year, shouldn't we forget all the discouragement and failure, all the encounters and unbearableness in the year?

Although there are some beautiful moments worth cherishing, I know that for many people, they are more experiencing various setbacks, so that they can't bear to look back.

We must keep those beautiful moments in our hearts, in order to constantly inspire us and encourage us to move forward bravely.

But we still have to take the initiative to forget those failed past events, otherwise they will become an unbearable burden in our hearts, making us feel trapped, difficult to move forward, and unable to move forward.

The day before yesterday, an older sister called me and burst into tears after just a few words.

She said that this year was really difficult. Her husband's betrayal, her children's rebellion, her business failure, and her economic difficulties made her breathless. She really wanted to end her life early and get rid of this endless pain.

I reminded her that if she ended her life, would it really be a relief? Elderly parents, young children, in this world, besides those who hurt her, there are also those who love her deeply, and of course there are those whom she loves deeply.

How much pain and sorrow will the separation of life and death leave for those who love her? Moreover, from our status, we can't take the road of suicide anyway.

After a long silence, she asked, what should I do? I told her that there is only one way and only one method, that is, to forget all the unbearable things in the past and live bravely.

For those who have experienced hurt and pain, forgetting all the unhappiness of this year is an imminent matter. Only in this way can we deserve a brand new starting point.

In those days, Joseph found the answer in forgetting and completely forgave his brothers. Especially after his father died, he comforted his brothers and said:

"Don't be afraid, how can I replace God? You meant to harm me before, but he meant it for good, to save many lives and to achieve the situation today."

I wonder if you have found your own answer today? If you haven't, start by forgetting!

I believe that soon, the road ahead of you will be clear and bright, and you will definitely have a beautiful blessing of your own.

On the last day of 2024, let us remind ourselves together: "I only have one thing, which is to forget the past, work hard in front of me, and run straight towards the goal!
