Letting Go of Vengeance
Taking revenge on those who have wronged one can be tempting, but it is essential to recognize that vengeance belongs to God alone. The perspective that justice will ultimately be served—whether in this life or the next—is a freeing realization that allows individuals to release their bitterness. Instead of harboring resentment, focusing on the assurance that God will address injustices can lead to healing. Romans 12:19 emphasizes that people should never seek to avenge themselves but trust in God's judgment and grace.
