Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called the sons of God. (Matt. 5:9). A word. A slight look. A forgotten birthday or anniversary. A piece of gossip about us, It was true, but it didnt need to be spoken. Things happen to us every day, from minor to major, that could serve as an excuse for vengeance. And each time something hurtful happens, we have a choice to make: will we be peacemakers or revenge seekers? Will we inflame the event with the fire of revenge or will we smother it with the blanket of peace? Lets assume youve been hurt purposefully. What should you do? God said, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked, but that the wicked turn from his ways and live (Ezekiel 33:11). God said that vengeance is His; He will repay (Rom. 12:19). Paul wrote that we are to do everything possible to Live peaceably with all men (Rom. 12:18). If you are faced with the choice of seeking peace or seeking vengeance, choose peace and receive the blessing of God. Two wrongs dont make a right!
