Who hasn’t at one time wished something bad to befall those that hurt them or to think they will get theirs because of the pain they have caused? I was reflecting on the hurt and pain some people have caused in my life and in my family’s, some purposely set out to cause pain while I was simply a casualty of life to others. I began to contemplate on the Word of God and what it says about forgiveness and those who hurt the children of God. I had a sadness wash over me. How many times have I said what goes around comes around without even thinking about the words I was speaking? Do these people have any idea what they have brought upon themselves? It is horrifying to think how many people have a world of sorrow coming their way because they will reap what they have sown. “Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.” Galatians 6:7 God help the people that come against His children. They need our prayers; sadly they have no idea what they are even doing. (19) Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord. (20) Therefore if thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him drink: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head. (21) Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.” Romans 12: 19-21 God’s vengeance could not even compare to the worse punishment on earth, can you really wish that upon anyone? If you answer yes to that, I would encourage you to seek God for a forgiving heart. I don’t say that lightly, there are a few I really struggle to forgive and have to seek God daily to soften my heart and forgive the pain they are causing.
