Wouldn’t you Rather Get Paid Than Get Even?

Don’t conform to the world by letting how people treat you affect how you treat them. Transform the world instead by treating people how you would be treated. That is the only way you can leave your mark on earth. If all you do is treat people the way they treat you, how would anyone know that you passed through earth  when you did not differ from the crowd? Jesus said “Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you”-Matthew 5:44. This takes courage. People are going to call you weak, because the way of the world is to react and if you don’t react the world thinks you are weak. But it takes more strength to restrain power than to unleash it. And why should you unleash yourself on people who wrong you anyway when God has said “Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith The Lord”-Romans 12:19? Vengeance belongs to God and if you take it you have stolen something that did not belong to you. But when you refuse to take vengeance God said “I will repay”. God takes vengeance on the offender and repays the offended. Wouldn’t you rather get paid than get even?
