' Revenge is Sweet '

Have you ever found yourself wishing another person 

to feel as hurt as you are?

Or silently said it in your heart, "you'll taste it one day"?

Or maybe you've seen someone going through a rough patch,

yet you can't help but feel a little good inside?

Yes, revenge is sweet - or not. 

When a situation hurts us so deep or frustrates us so bad

are we ready to take it as an opportunity to "turn the other cheek" 

or do we rather just hang on to 'sweet revenge'?

Honestly, it is just so much easier to do the latter but is it any good? 

God has given each of us the opportunity to be kind, to be courteous,

to be loving and to be forgiving in this life. It's definitely difficult to 

make that choice when the opportunity presents itself but 

He clearly did not intend for us to experience mediocre relationships

in our life, rather He has created us for far greater things and

He knows that we are capable of making that choice. 

I really didn't understand why i was going through what I was going 

through but now i know that it was an opportunity that He has given 

me to love. So, I have decided to forgive for He has forgiven me.

Forgiveness is not an emotion.

Forgiveness is an act of the will, and the will can

function regardless of the temperature of the heart
