About Revenge

What do you when you are wronged? Honestly, I have never been the type to be involved in fights, arguments, and disagreements. My zodiac is Libra, which is a peacemaker and always seeks harmony but when challenged, my emotions can really burst. But me? I just usually stay quiet, even too quiet sometimes it's scary.

I have laid it all down to God and have cried it all out to Him. I have been holding on to a lot of His promises, like "The LORD himself goes before you and will be with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged" Deuteronomy 31: 8 and No one whose hope is in you will ever be put to shame, but they will be put to shame who are treacherous without excuse. from Psalm 25:3. 

It's hard to be still and be calm, but I know the Lord is shaping my character and strengthening me silently. I know who I am, I know my worth and I know the people who truly love me. So whatever God wants me to learn, and to do this year, I'm willing. God will fight for me, he will see to it that all the wrongs will be made right, and someday there will be a reward. There will be judgment, too.

Been meditating about this post from Trusting through Treacherous Times:

"It means turning all sense of personal revenge over to the King of Justice. We are to wait upon God to rightly deal with this situation. We quickly confess we do not have the answers. We do not know how to deal with the wicked. We are too personally grieved to rightly handle it. But this does not mean there is nothing to deal with. Any such great violation will demand moral satisfaction. Only God can deal with this."

Romans 12:19 ESV

Beloved, never avenge yourselves, but leave it to the wrath of God, for it is written, “Vengeance is mine, I will repay, says the Lord.”
