Revenge is not so sweet



The poor are shunned by all their relatives-- how much more do their friends avoid them! Though the poor pursue them with pleading, they are nowhere to be found (Proverbs 19:7).

Its the way of the world that when success has not yet knocked on ones door, people will desert you. Many friends and family will run away from you, they will not call you, pick up your calls, comment on your facebook or even sent you a short tweet or short message to your mobile phone.

Many despise your regular or occasional visits. They never want to be in your company and if they find themselves in it, are so quick to leave.

When life hits you down, so many will mock you, others will laugh at you behind your back.

The fact is that some humans forget that what has not reached them may not have passed them. Every dog has his day. Life is so fragile and mysterious.

Anyway, it is rather sad that when success eventually shines the fallen man's way, he cease the opportunity to treat his perpetrators badly.

Why seek vengeance?  Vengeance it is a dark mirror in which we cannot see ourselves. Do not let the world change you, trials come to teach you lessons, preparing you for the special days. 

I agree trials open your eyes to show you those who truly love you but nevertheless keep loving even those who messed you up.  “Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.”
― Oscar Wilde


The Bible in Daniel 9:9  states;"The Lord our God is merciful and forgiving, even though we have rebelled against him". When you forgive, "You will heap burning coals of shame on their heads, and the LORD will reward you".(Proverbs 25:22).

Life is worth much more than seeking revenge, God has already prepared a table for you in the presence of your enemies. A good Christian should rather be thankful that God fought the battle against his enemies and declared him a victor.

The great Gospel Pastor and Tel-Preacher, Bishop T.D Jakes said; God is establishing patience, character, and concentration in the school of “nothing seems to be happening.”Take the class and get the course credit; it’s working for your good.

 Life is a University, some call it a teacher. Trials come to teach you lessons which will make you stronger and greater.

However, for those who hurt you; "Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap." Galatians 6:7, KJV.

"He that leadeth into captivity shall go into captivity; he that killeth with the sword must be killed with the sword. Here is the patience and faith of the saints." Revelation 13:10, KJV.

"What goes around comes around."Therefore, it is not your job to judge or take revenge on those who hurt you. Let God fight for you.

Our major and most important goal is to make Heaven, where no brother, sister or parents will accompany you or speak on your behalf . So do not let anyone stop you, there is no repentance in Hell.

“To be a Christian means to forgive the inexcusable because God has forgiven the inexcusable in you.” ― C.S. Lewis

Everyone has his/her own question paper to answer. Pass yours.

Cheers!
