"Make sure that nobody pays back wrong for wrong, but always strive to do what is good for each other and for everyone else." -I Thessalonians 5:15 (NIV)
We've probably all heard the saying that, "Two wrongs don't make a right." Sometimes when things aren't going our way, we can be tempted to repay wrong with wrong. When this urge or temptation arises, we need to remember God's gift to us!
Even though we sin and do wrong, God doesn't repay us with more wrong. Instead, God offers us love and forgiveness. As we approach others in our lives, we need to follow this example. We need to always do what is right, what is just, and what is loving, regardless of what others might do to us!
Do what is right and good, no matter what others might be doing!
Prayer:
Dear God-
Thank You for the gift of forgiveness and redemption through Your Son. Help me to always do what is right and to avoid repaying wrong with wrong. In Jesus' name I pray, amen.
