My good friend, Jenny in Arizona has been very blessed to meet a family that I wish we could have met as well. I have admired Katie's photography as she is a very talented photographer/Mommy/wife.
She had a post this morning that I read that well was a verse that I needed to be reminded of.
Thanks Katie.
17 Never pay back evil for evil to anyone. Do things in such a way that everyone can see you are honorable. 18 Do your part to live in peace with everyone, as much as possible. 19 Dear friends, never avenge yourselves. Leave that to God. For it is written, "I will take vengeance; I will repay those who deserve it," says the Lord. 20 Instead, do what the Scriptures say: "If your enemies are hungry, feed them. If they are thirsty, give them something to drink, and they will be ashamed of what they have done to you." 21 Don't let evil get the best of you, but conquer evil by doing good.
Romans 12:17-21
I've always been thankful God put that line in there that says "live in peace with everyone, as much as possible" that line asures me God knows with some people it's near impossible to achieve peaceful relationships...so as long as I pray for them & don't wish or do them harm that might be the best I can do when they make it so hard.
ReplyDeleteI love the last verse too. Don't let evil get the best of you, but conquer evil by doing good. Thanks for this reminder to me Melinda!! Love ya, Vanessa
