The newspaper ad read: “Wedding dress for sale. Never worn. Will trade for .38 caliber pistol.”

It is so tempting to want to get back at those who have harmed us. It’s human nature to desire revenge. After all, it’s only fair, right? That person deserves to know what it feels like to hurt so much!

That’s human nature, but it’s not the type of behavior God desires of us. Romans 12:19 says, “Do not take revenge, my friends, but leave room for God’s wrath, for it is written: “It is mine to avenge; I will repay,” says the Lord.”

It is said, “Revenge is a dish best served cold.” Actually, it’s best not served at all.
