Imagine someone scammed you out of $1,000. Anger boils, wanting them to suffer more. But wait! The Bible (Romans 12:19) offers something unexpected:
"Don't take revenge. Trust God. He says, 'Vengeance is mine, I will repay.'"
Now, how do you want God to "repay"? You have two options:
Option 1. Eye for an Eye (Scammer gets scammed back):
* Feels fair and immediate.
* BUT: Does it bring true peace? Does it restore your money?
*
Option 2. Let Go & Trust Restoration:
* Release anger, trust God to fix things.
* Maybe you recover your money in surprising ways (even more than was lost!).
* Or, God restores through new opportunities or support.
Key point: Option 2 requires a growth mindset and an open heart. Focus on learning, forgiveness, and moving forward, not revenge.
Bonus: Option 2 works even without a human wrongdoer. Lost something in an accident? Ask and trust God to "repay" you generously.
Which path resonates with you? Remember, both have consequences. Choose the one that aligns with your values and brings restoration and lasting peace.
