“Here’s another old saying that deserves a second look: ‘Eye for eye, tooth for tooth’. Is that going to get us anywhere? Here’s what I propose: ‘Don’t gut back at all.’ If someone strikes you, stand there and take it. If someone drags you into courts d sues for the shirt off your back, gift wrap your vest fist and make a present of it. And if someone takes unfair advantage if you, use the occasion to practice the servant life. No more tit-for-tat stuff. Live generously”
(Matthew 5: 38-42)
I think that’s one of the most real and most ignored verses in the Bible. Many people, me included feel like our enemies need to feel karma as soon as we get treated horribly, but that’s not our place. It is God’s job to judge them and give us justice, not us ourselves. We gotta love our enemies and pray for them even though it’s hard
If you can spread this post around to others to spread the gospel. Praise the lord and may God bless you with a good day today!!
