You Can't Do That

God will repay each person according to what they have done.
— ROMANS 2:6 (NIV)

I know she’s got it coming, but you can’t do it! I heard what he said to you, but you can’t do it. It’s a dog gone shame what they did to you, but you can’t do it! All you can do is what God told you to do: love your neighbor as yourself and forgive others so that your Father in heaven will forgive you. Anything else that needs to be done… Let God handle it.

Don’t waste a good prayer praying God to strike down your enemies. Don’t waste time plotting your exact revenge on what may very well be people who deserve it. Instead, have faith that God will repay each person according to what they have done. And believe me, God takes care of His children (and can punish people more effectively than you ever could). Your time is valuable and Jesus still has a lot more things for you to do. Turn your attention to accomplishing His mission and not getting back at those who did you wrong. The Lord of Host will fight your battles and be your sun and shield. So, focus on what you can do.

Vengeance is not yours.
