Romans 12:19 (NKJV) 19 Beloved, do not avenge yourselves, but rather give place to wrath; for it is written, “Vengeance is Mine, I will repay,” says the Lord.
Do we feel the need to get people back?
If someone has deliberately done something against us, do we want to fix them, see them punished in some way? If so, then we have a problem.
The real problem is that we don’t trust God to handle it. We don’t feel He is capable of helping them in the area they need help.
Yes, it seems like some people never want to change. They don’t want help, and they may stay the way they are for the rest of their lives.
However, we all come to the end someday and we stand before our God, no matter who we are. So, understand it is not just about here on earth that we deal with our choices and the things we do.
We have to answer for them when we leave this place. So those that may think they are getting away with doing terrible things to others are not being realistic. One way or another, we will all answer to God for it.
We don’t need to take things into our own hands. It’s best to move on and let it go. Enjoy life and don’t let it mess with our emotions one more day.
Trust Him. He knows best, and His arm is far-reaching.
Isaiah 59:1 (NKJV) 59 Behold, the Lord’s hand is not shortened, That it cannot save; Nor His ear heavy, That it cannot hear.
Tell Him our concerns. Give it to Him and walk away.
