…Vengeance is Mine, I will repay – Romans 12:19
Our role model is “Jesus”, He set an example for everyone of us. Though we were God’s enemies (Rom 5:10), He didn’t punish us but instead He gave his life and rescued us. Similarly, make allowance for each other’s faults, and forgive anyone who offends you. Remember, the Lord forgave you, so you must forgive others – Colossians 3:13
We might say it is God’s nature to forgive but there were common people like us who lived as per the biblical principles. It is true incident happened in Orissa India, Graham Stuart Staines Australian Christian missionary along with 2 sons (Philip and Timothy) was burnt to death by religious fanatics in the year 1999. But Glady staines (wife of Graham Stuart) publicly forgave the killers, stayed back in Odisha and continued her work for the leprosy home till 2004 and later returned to her home country.
Glady staines lived as per the following scripture, never pay back evil with more evil. Do things in such a way that everyone can see you are honorable – Romans 12:17
Prayer: Father God, help us to be in peace with everyone and live a life that pleases you. In Jesus name I pray – Amen!!!
