—Romans 12:14-21
by: Angie Osborn.
This passage is one that is just hard to accept! Our human nature is to somehow “get even” with those who hurt us or do wrong to us. As always, God has a better plan. He tells us to “let go and let God.” We are to work to live in peace and to repay good with evil. He calls us to be an example of his love and mercy on earth. It is a powerful blow to Satan when we respond to evil with Christ’s love. Unfortunately, this is no easy task, but God does not ask us or expect us to do it alone. He will give us the strength, the love, the forgiving heart, and the courage to act in love; in doing that, we bring glory and honor to him.
