Set Vengenance And Hate Aside

Good Morning!! If someone hurts you, could you let it go? or would you need to hurt them back? If so, you wouldn't be the only one. That's why down through the centuries, calculated cruelty, murderous revenge, and even ghastly torture have made history a long tale of tragedy. It's how the World thinks and functions. Even if you and I could not see ourselves killing innocent victims, we must still guard against hardheartedness and pray for a spirit that is the very opposite of that kind of depraved sadism.

Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger, brawling and slander, along with every form of malice.—Ephesians 4:31 (NIV)
We must plead for divine enablement to fulfill Paul's imperative: "Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, clamor, and evil speaking be put away from you, with all malice. And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God in Christ forgave you" (Eph. 4:31-32). Ask Jesus to help you replace any lingering hardheartedness in your life with His tenderheartedness. And show Christlike compassion to someone today.

As long as there's bitterness in the heart,...vengeance will seem sweet.

"Only knowing that we're right before God, can give us the strength to accept all that is wrong from men!"

"Blessed is he who has found his work, let him ask no other blessedness."
