Revenge... Is It Worth It?

Hurting an enemy puts you beneath them; taking revenge makes you even with them; forgiving sets you above them. Revenge is not sweet; it leaves a bitter taste. It keeps you in such a constant stew that you're not able to enjoy God's blessings. Unforgiveness just keeps you on the treadmill of resentment. Why is it so important to make others wrong and yourself right? If you're right but miserable, what good is it? Sometimes the source of our anger is hidden from us; we are acting out the unresolved hurts within us. Exaggerated anger is often displaced anger. Instead of dealing with the person who hurt us, we vent our wrath on those closest to us. Mercy heals, but unforgiveness makes you a perpetual victim. Plus, while you're obsessing over the event & planning your payback, the other person is out enjoying life. God promises us justice, so leave it in His hands. In fact, the only person you should consider getting even with, are those who've helped you. That's sweet revenge!
