Don’t repay evil for evil. Don’t retaliate with insults when people insult you. Instead, pay them back with a blessing. That is what God has called you to do, and he will grant you his blessing. (1 Peter 3:9 NLT)

Yes it is so easy to repay evil for evil, or want to retaliate, especially when someone mistreats you and you know it’s undeserved. It’s an everyday walk. Reminding self to do good all the time.

Sometimes the world would praise for retaliation. In The New Law of Retribution (https://upliftingchrist.wordpress.com/2014/06/18/the-new-law-of-retribution/), the would have hailed the mother for retaliation but she chose to forgive the guy who killed hers. Vengeance is God’s thus when we are tempted to pay people back for their evil deeds, we should always remember that God wants us to forgive and bless instead. God bless us
