NO REVENGE
When someone has hurt us and committed a terrible wrong against us, our natural response is to get even. If we follow that natural inclination, we turn into the same kind of person that wronged us. Rather, God says to do nothing, but wait on Him and He will see that we are vindicated. He will allow the transgressor to reap what was sown.
Heavenly Father, Oh how we need your grace when we have been hurt by others. Help us to rise above our human nature and leave revenge alone. We trust that you will take care of the situation for us. In Jesus' name.
Read Proverbs 20:22
"Do not say, "I'll pay you back for this wrong!" Wait for the Lord, and he will deliver you." (NIV)
"Say not thou, I will recompense evil; but wait on the LORD, and he shall asve thee." (KJV)
