Beloved, do not avenge yourselves, but rather give place to wrath; for it is written, “Vengeance is Mine, I will repay,” says the Lord. (Romans 12:19 NKJV)

ROMANS 12 IN ITS ENTIRETY.

Thought For The Day: At one time or another we’ve all had our feelings hurt. A black eye to the ego often makes us sad and sometimes potentially angry. Although anger is a natural emotion we must maintain control before it transforms into revenge. A revengeful heart makes us bitter and oftentimes leads to sinful choices. This is when we should take our broken hearts to the LORD, ask forgiveness for our unholy thoughts, and trust him to repair our hearts. In so doing, we will forgive others and continue to live according to God’s plan for our lives.

Prayer: Lord in Your word you teach us that offenses will come relegating that it is natural to sometimes become upset when our feelings are hurt. Please forgive us when we become angry with others. Help us to forgive others as You so mercifully many times have forgiven us. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
