"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."

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

@Pfuzylogic Yes it is so helpful! Especially because of all the X$hD%plrkj...out there 😂

@Carazaa Honestly letting God take care of what I consider the “dirty work” of getting revenge, has made my life much easier.

@Pfuzylogic Yes it's definitely a comfort! I am glad that you are forgiving with people. You probably are a great role-model for many in your family!

@Carazaa I’m not sure when people understand when I do that. I was told by my ex that I had no choice. She told me at the end of our marriage that she never believed in God.
I was in shock.

@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.

@Carazaa
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?
