Not So Sweet Revenge. Proverbs 6:18-19 NLT

"Revenge is a dish best served cold."-Pierre Ambroise Francois Choderios de LaClos 
"An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth." 
“Beware the fury of a patient man.”  John Dryden 
"What goes around comes around."- Unknown

We've all plotted it, some of us may have acted on it at least once. Sweet revenge. "I'll show him", "I'll show her." But in the end the only person truly hurt is ourselves. Revenge is not so sweet, it's actually rather bitter.

It's best to take the advice of the Father in Deuteronomy 32:35 "I will take revenge; I will pay them back. In due time their feet will slip. Their day of disaster will arrive, and their destiny will overtake them."

Let go of the anger, give God your hurt and let Him heal you and deal with them.

Proverbs 6:18-19 NLT
18 a heart that plots evil,
feet that race to do wrong,


Blessings, Cecilia
