Do you ever just want to smack somebody? There have been times where I have wanted to shut people out of my life because they hurt me or were unfair to me. Have you ever faced this? It’s amazing how we just want to act on how we FEEL all the time!
Did you know that we can FEEL wrong and still DO the right thing?
The bible says, …Love your enemies! Pray for those who persecute you (Matthew 5:48), if you are kind only to your friends, how are you different from anyone else? Even pagans do that. (Matthew 5:47)
Do you have a WAIT problem?
Wouldn’t you want others, whom you have hurt, to PRAY FOR YOU while they wait for Jesus to vindicate them? (OUCH!)
What if YOU pray for someone who has hurt YOU and your prayers get them saved?
If they get filled with Jesus and his love starts overflowing, then YOU get to benefit.
It sounds selfish, but EVERYONE WINS!
Honor or Vengeance? Bring on the buffet!
Do what is honorable.
Never take revenge… for he says, “Vengeance is mine, I will repay;
So feed your enemy, give him something to drink;
doing so will heap burning coals on his head.” (Romans 12:17-21)
If you forgive the failures of others, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. (Matthew 6:14)
We have EVERYTHING TO GAIN
I THINK I win, temporarily, when I act on what I feel, but in the long run I lose, until I turn back to God and ask forgiveness.
DOING THE RIGHT THING gives me something even Visa can’t buy and no contract can provide and that is God’s peace and His joy…THERE’S NOTHING BETTER!!!
