DAD'S RAMBLINGS – Getting Even
ROMANS 12:17, 19
"Repay no one evil for evil. Have regard for good things in the sight of all men .... Beloved, do not avenge yourselves, but rather give place to wrath: for it is written, ' "Vengeance is Mine, I will repay," says the Lord.' "
I have a friend who carries anger because he was given a raw deal by brothers in a church. Now all he can think about is making them pay. His mind is full of poison. If I permit it, anger caused by mistreatment and injustice will cause me to be a bitter person and rob me of my joy. The desire for revenge makes me a negative person that sees nothing positive, saps my energy for doing good, and makes people want to avoid me. It is much better to commit it to God and let Him repay. That way I can concentrate my life on what is good and beautiful.
TODAY'S THOUGHT: The desire for revenge will so fog my vision that I cannot see all the good things in life.
Have a "committed" day. Love you.
