AVOID VENGEANCE
Romans 12:19
Dear friends, never take revenge. Leave that to the righteous anger of God. For the Scriptures say, “I will take revenge;I will pay them back,” says the lord.
Offences would surely come as we continue our journey here on earth. One thing we must learn to do is never to act when we are angry. Almost one hundred percent of the time, if we reflect on it, we find that we regret our actions.
It is not that we do not get angry, the bible teaches that even when we do, it should not lead us to sin.
Ephesians 4:26
Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath:
If an enemy hurts us, well what do we expect from an enemy. However betrayal is when a friend intentionally hurts us.
Check it! What makes us think it is intentional?
So better to talk about it than be silent!
Luke 17:3
Take heed to yourselves: If thy brother trespass against thee, rebuke him; and if he repent, forgive him.
If it hurts talk about it, it is always a wonder what we discover when we talk about it. Then we can forgive.
Really we have to, God expects this from us and it also our criteria to also be forgiven.
Matthew 6:14
For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you:
If we don't forgive, then vengeance sets in and most times we get hurt ourselves and we put God out of the picture.
Ephesians 4:32
And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you.
We receive more grace to live God's way in the leading of His Spirit. Remember the first character of the Spirit is love. Thus forgiveness flows. May nothing tamper with our joy.
It is well with us.
He calls us blessed.
Love
