In our home right now, when someone gets corrected for being mean, almost always the response starts with, “But he…”
I remind them that we cannot look at other people’s bad behavior to try to justify our own.
It is not our job to avenge. Vengeance belongs to the Lord. It is our job to do four things to our enemies…
1. Love them
2. Bless them
3. Do good to them
4. Pray for them
(Matthew 5:44)
