Beloved, never avenge yourselves, but leave it to the wrath of God, for it is written, “Vengeance is mine, I will repay, says the Lord.”
Romans 12:19
Know this, my beloved brothers: let every person be quick to hear, slow to speak, slow to anger; for the anger of man does not produce the righteousness of God.
James 1:19-20
Not long ago, one of our children came out and started yelling about someone stealing their money. Thank God no one was in the room to hear their accusations. I calmly asked if they had proof of their siblings stealing their money and of course the answer was no.
So, I explained, "you need to go back over your own steps with your money, look in every pocket and through every bag you've used and see if it is either somewhere you didn't look or maybe you spent it and forgot about it. I explained how horrible the situation could be if they made those accusations and then found the money or remembered spending it and then had to try to apologize and deal with the turmoil of that kind of situation."
A few hours later I asked if they'd found their money, and the answer was "yes", they'd put it somewhere else and forgotten about it!
I said, " that's great, & now, handling it like you did you haven't hurt or angered anyone and won't have to apologize for your actions or words!"
So many times, whether it's in the news, in my family or circle of friends or aquaintences I witness "the Blame Game" where people "have" to blame someone else because they either don't want to be accountable or they feel some strange need to place blame on something or someone!
No matter the situation, you don't "HAVE" to have, display or act on your anger, the outcome is surely to be negative! No matter the situation, you "CAN" deal with it in a Loving Christian manner and if someone is guilty the Lord will surely take care of other's wrong doing's. As I've said before, each and every sigle one of us will stand before our Lord and answer for everything done and said whether good or bad.Just living your life in the way He would have you live it, so you can work toward and "good" meeting with your Savior is all you should be worried about!
If someone has done you wrong, stole from you or hurt you somehow...rest assured the Lord will take care of it and I guarantee His wrath will be worse than "anything" you can dish out!
Then, you can know in your heart, when you finally meet your Father, you'll not pay for what you "might" have done!
Today-Self control is the key, keep it, practice it in every aspect of your life, use it to work toward a pleasant meeting with your Father!!
Have a SUPER day in the Lord my friends!
