Love God Greatly: Estherಮಾದರಿ

Revenge is a plot that plays out in movies or TV shows, but not reality. The same with making strategies to harm people. While we may not plan physical harm to others, often we do it with our words. We harm reputations. We spread gossip. We plant seeds of doubt in people's minds. Over time, we become known as someone who cannot be trusted, someone whose advice is not worth listening to. Our own reputations are damaged, and we become trapped by our own devices.

Dear God, Help us to place revenge in Your able hands. Help us to trust You and remove the desire to seek revenge for those who have hurt us. Help us instead to respond through Your love and offer forgiveness. Amen.
