Do
not seek revenge or bear a grudge against anyone among your people, but love
your neighbor as yourself. I am the Lord.

Leviticus 19:18
Just
a friendly reminder of what God has to say about the topic of revenge.
He
says don’t.
We
humans always seem to think that we know better, don’t we?
I
feel like many humans set off with a knee-jerk reaction and to heck with the
consequences.
Remember
to count to ten (slowly) before we react, and think about these things: is it
kind? Is it helpful?
Lysa
TerKeurst said in her book Unglued “If I knew this conversation
was being videotaped and then shown to people I greatly respect, how would this
change my reaction?"
Perhaps
we should think about that before we react with revenge in our hearts.
