There will be times in all of our liveswhere we’re treated very harshly and unfair.
And no matter how hard we look for the justicewe find that it just isn’t there.
When we’re offended and in pain, our normal responseis to retaliate and somehow repay.
For we want that person to see how it feelsto have the heartache we’re feeling that day.
But as natural as it seems to want to get evenit’s the opposite of what
God says is true.
For He is desiring that His servants be differentand be Christ-like in all that we do.
As incredible as it sounds,
He wants us to repay themwith a blessing instead of more pain.
And He will give us the power we need to be kindand the strength we need to refrain.
We have to trust Him and fully believe HimKnowing
His ways truly are best.
We have to be encouraged knowing He saw the injusticeand let
Him give us comfort and rest.
The person who offends us is not declared innocentby the kindness we place on their head.But God takes all the heartache retaliation would bring usand gives us a blessing instead.
