This is a great message. Revenge is a form of punishment that is applied by a person who has received abuse, insults or any action that is considered harmful to the integrity of the other; The victim, after having received the aggression after feeling affected, decides to retaliate against his aggressor, in turn committing acts that harm him. The people who practice revenge through this way seek compensation for the damages that have been done against him; Many times it is understood as revenge (in a distorted sense) as a synonym of justice, however this concept is directed more towards the insulting sense on a personal level, which is pleasant for a whole population. Revenge is irreverent in the eyes of God; by retaliating we are telling God that He can not provide the punishment that deserves the one who has harmed us; On the other hand when we forgive we show reverence, we are letting Him do the things, we are giving him the rightful place in our lives and showing our obedience to Him, who without asking anything, does everything for us, his children. To retaliate is the law of man; Giving thanks is the law of the kingdom.
The soul of vengeful people is bitterness. Evil coils in our hearts destroying them little by little, nestling bad feelings that over time become increasingly difficult to tear. We can not alter the yesterday, but if we can alter our reaction yesterday. We can not change the past, but if we can change the answer to the past. Thanks for sharing
