Don’t repay evil for evil. Don’t snap back at those who say unkind things about you. Instead, pray for God’s help for them, for we are to be kind to others, and God will bless us for it.
- 1 Peter 3:9 (TLB)
“I’ll get even”
“He’ll get what he deserves”
“Just wait for karma”
We hear those phrases a lot, don’t we?
There are many quotes about revenge being sweet, but is it really?
We are called to be kind to others.
Every single person – not just the people we consider our friends - this also applies to the ones who hurt us.
Some people appear to be evil to the core and we as humans may not think they deserve forgiveness, but listen, if we can’t forgive them, we can’t forgive ourselves and if we can’t forgive ourselves, we may find ourselves on the wrong side of Heaven.
No matter what horrible thing someone has done (and believe me it has taken me well over 40 years to forgive some people) forgive them, pray for them, for their repentance, pray for your own forgiveness (you aren’t perfect either) and pray for an end to the insanity.
Pray like you have never prayed before, forgive yourself, forgive others and lead by example.
Love always.
