Proverbs 25:21-22
If thine enemy be hungry, give him bread to eat; and if he be thirsty, give him water to drink:For thou shalt heap coals of fire upon his head, and the LORD shall reward thee. (Proverbs 25:21-22)
When people do us wrong, not taking revenge is difficult. It seems natural to fight back when someone attacks us. Does the Word of God tells us to let God judge them. This is not saying you should never defend yourself, or what belongs to you. But do not seek revenge after you have been wronged. Instead, let God handle it. People who try to take revenge, usually end up committing more injustice. Often a deadly cycle develops. Instead of taking revenge, God's Word tells us to bless our enemies. "But I say to you, love your enemies, bless those who curse
you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you, God is aware of every injustice. And God promises to right every wrong, eventually. God is a righteous judge, but all judgment is not instant, or even in this life. For God called you to do good, even if it means suffering, just as Christ suffered for you. He is your example, and you must follow in his steps. He did not retaliate when he was insulted, nor threaten
revenge when he suffered. He left his case in the hands of God, who always judges fairly.
