"Do not take revenge, my dear friends, but leave room for God’s wrath, for it is written: “It is mine to avenge; I will repay,” says the Lord."

[b] Romans 12:19 [/b]
17 "Do not repay anyone evil for evil. Be careful to do what is right in the eyes of everyone.
18 If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone.
19 Do not take revenge, my dear friends, but leave room for God’s wrath, for it is written: “It is mine to avenge; I will repay,” says the Lord.
20 On the contrary: “If your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him something to drink. In doing this, you will heap burning coals on his head.”
21 Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good."

I had someone who lied about me continuously and made my life miserable. I left it to God and He took very good care of the situation. They died alone on their living room floor of natural causes. It took three years and the lies are still believed, but I am alive and living life. The other person isn't.

@Musicman It's interesting how good God is to those who love him, especially if we don't retaliate and we are just serving Him! God has taken good care of you in the past, so we know he will continue to care for us.

@Carazaa Amen 🙏🙏🙏 Sometimes we just have to remember how good He really is to us. That actually happened twice. The other person cheated me in business. He died of kidney failure in his 40's.

Very good scripture to live by.
I have found it gives more room for grace for everyone.

@Pfuzylogic I think it is hard to stay the course and be committed without God. God has a plan for you, and maybe you are better off not to be unequally yoked with her any longer.

We have been divorced since 1997. She informed me at the very last that she didn’t believe in God and this after she swore that she prayed for me to change.

@Pfuzylogic That's hilarious! WHo did she pray to then if not God, the sun?
