leaving the company, a young man cannot remember where he has left his
hat, it is nothing. But when an old man forgets, everyone says, "Ah his memory is going." - Dr. Samuel Johnson
Lately I find myself forgetting ordinary things on a regular basis. My misfortune manifests itself in a fading recollection of where I left my car keys, my reading glasses, my sunglasses, my hat.
I even forget my best thoughts, which seen to come and go at random; I have little control over them these days. Plato said our minds are like aviaries and our thoughts are like birds. It's an apt metaphor for me. I reach for one thought and frighten it away, then grasp at another that quickly flits away from my mind - unless I write it down.
There are other things I've forgotten, but right now I can't remember what they are.
There's an upside to forgetting, however. There are things I want to forget, not the least of which are the things in the past that I could have, should have, done. John Greenleaf Whittier said, "Of all sad words of tongue or pen, the saddest are these: 'I might have been.'" Indeed.
I think of relationships I might have nurtured, projects I should have finished, decisions that were better unmade. And certainly my past behavior has been regrettable. An old acquaintance recently characterized me as "a mean kid" in my youth. It saddens me to think that he remembers me that way. I think of all the things I've "done, and been; the shame / Of motives late revealed, and the awareness / Of things ill done and done to others' harm." I wish I could forget them.
Further, I want to forget the wrongs I've received in my lifetime. It's easy to brood over them and become bitter and resentful, like Charles Dickens's sad, eccentric Miss Havisham, who was jilted at the altar and stopped all the clocks in her house at the hour of her disappointment. Her bitterness was frozen in time. I don't want mine to be.
All of us, I'm sure, have been wronged in some way or another at various times; friends and enemies have dishonored and grieved us. We cling to bitterness over our childhood and remember old wounds from a parent's hand.
Some rise above it and leave it behind. I once asked a cruelly abused friend how he dealt with his grievances. "I've got a good forgetter," he replied. I wish I could get one too.
All of which encourages me to recall the patriarch Joseph. He, too, had much to forget. He was "a mean kid" too, flaunting his most-favored status, wearing it on his sleeve, so to speak.

Joseph further alienated himself from his family by endlessly relating his dreams - dreams that were true, as it turned out, but which, when repeated over and over, augmented the resentment of his brothers. They "hated him all the more because of his dream and what he had said." (Genesis 37:8) Israel's wise men would have called him a peti - a young fool.
In his youth, a series of calamitous events cascaded down on Joseph's head, like bricks tumbling out of a dump truck, one after another. He was snatched from his dotting father by his brothers, cast into a pit, and passed on to a band of Bedouins who in turn sold him into slavery in Egypt.
In Egypt his life continued to be a series of tragic indignities. He was tempted by a determined seductress who, when spurned, accused him of raping her. He was summarily tried, convicted, imprisoned, and left to languish in isolation for a dozen years or more, forgotten by family and friends.
Yet in the end Joseph's bitterness was transformed into forgiveness and love. He named his firstborn son Manasseh (Hebrew for "caused to forget") for, he said, "God has made me forget all my trouble." (Genesis 41:51)
How did God cause him to forget? Did he work some magic on Joseph that erased his memory?
No, God taught him to look at his past in a redemptive way: Joseph came to see that God's ways were "perfect." (Psalm 18:30)
Two texts underscore that perception: "You sold me," Joseph said to his brothers, "but God sent me here to preserve life." And again, "You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good to accomplish what is now being done, the saving of many lives." (Genesis 45:5; 50:20)

Joseph remembered well what his brothers had done: they had sold him into slavery. That
injustice and cruelty he could never forget. But behind the bitter
experiences of the past he saw the providence of God. This is the
mystery of sovereignty: God works through evil to accomplish His will. "He permits evil," Augustine of Hippo said, "to transform it into good."
The past cannot be changed, but it can be redeemed. It cannot be forgotten per se (for some things will never be forgotten), but it can be swallowed up in God's sovereign purposes and left behind.
The past cannot be changed, but it can be redeemed. It cannot be forgotten per se (for some things will never be forgotten), but it can be swallowed up in God's sovereign purposes and left behind.
How can we forget the bitterness of our past?
By
seeing God's providence in every event of our lives, even in our
mistakes and in other's malice. The God of love and wisdom has taken the
worst that we have done and is turning it into eternal good. We may not
see or know that good until we step into eternity itself, but it is
certain - as certain as the lovingkindness of God.

Yet in the end Joseph's bitterness was transformed into forgiveness and love. He named his firstborn son Manasseh (Hebrew for "caused to forget") for, he said, "God has made me forget all my trouble." (Genesis 41:51) [6]

How did God cause him to forget? Did he work some magic on Joseph that erased his memory?
No, God taught him to look at his past in a redemptive way: Joseph came to see that God's ways were "perfect." (Psalm 18:30) [7]
Two texts underscore that perception: "You sold me," Joseph said to his brothers, "but God sent me here to preserve life." And again, "You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good to accomplish what is now being done, the saving of many lives." (Genesis 45:5; 50:20) [8]

Joseph remembered well what his brothers had done: they had sold him into slavery. That injustice and cruelty he could never forget. But behind the bitter experiences of the past he saw the providence of God. This is the mystery of sovereignty: God works through evil to accomplish His will. "He permits evil," Augustine of Hippo said, "to transform it into good."
The past cannot be changed, but it can be redeemed. It cannot be forgotten per se (for some things will never be forgotten), but it can be swallowed up in God's sovereign purposes and left behind.

How can we forget the bitterness of our past?
By seeing God's providence in every event of our lives, even in our mistakes and in other's malice. The God of love and wisdom has taken the worst that we have done and is turning it into eternal good. We may not see or know that good until we step into eternity itself, but it is certain - as certain as the lovingkindness of God.
