Forgive, and re-forgive.

What would you do if someone deliberately hurt you, whether it was physically or emotionally? Would your thoughts immediately go to ‘revenge?’ Would you want to do the same thing back to them? That’s called revenge. And, if you’re a Christian, I hope that instead of thinking revenge, you would be thinking MERCY.

I’m not saying to just let the accusations go, and let someone walk all over you. It’s ok to be angry.

But, as a Christian, revenge shouldn’t even be a thought. Sometimes you have to forgive, then re-forgive, again and again.

After all, this is what Jesus did and aren’t we striving to be more like Him?

Instead of thinking revenge the next time someone hurts you, think mercy.

After all, who knows what kind of day or week they’ve had. Mercy may be all they have left to hold onto.

Forgive and re-forgive. Show mercy.

Romans 12:19 - “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.”
