“Dear Friends, never avenge yourselves. Leave that to God. For it is written, ‘I will take vengeance; I will repay those who deserve it,’ says the Lord. Romans 12:19, NLT

But why? We ask the Lord as three year old’s sometimes…Because of the word “deserve”. Only God knows everything about all of us. He knows what every person is going through and where they have been. He is the only one who can justify and give to those what they deserve with their best interest at heart.

And when we try to avenge we lose our peace, which is not good for us!…according to Snoopy…There IS an alternative!

“Instead, do what the Scriptures say:
If your enemies are hungry, feed them.
It they are thirsty, give them something to drink, and they will be ashamed of what they have done to you.

Don’t let evil get the best of you, but conquer evil by doing good.”
Romans 12:20-21, NLT

Dear Heavenly Father, we come to the end of Romans 12 with how we began. Let go and let YOU take over our minds, hearts and souls and then behave accordingly. By Your Power, of Your Holy Spirit, Christ in us, help us LIVE IT. In Jesus Name, Amen.
