And no matter how hard we look for the justice we find that it just isn’t there. When we’re offended and in pain, our normal response is to retaliate and somehow repay. For we want that person to see how it [feels](https://www.poetryoflife.com/wp-content/uploads/wp-mfa-exports/post/oh-what-a-feeling.md) to have the heartache we’re feeling that day. But as natural as it seems to want to get even it’s the opposite of what God says is [true](https://www.poetryoflife.com/wp-content/uploads/wp-mfa-exports/post/that-much-is-true.md). For He is desiring that His servants be different and be Christ-like in all that we do. As incredible as it sounds, He wants us to repay them with a blessing instead of more pain. And He will give us the power we need to be kind and the strength we need to refrain. We have to trust Him and fully believe Him Knowing His ways truly are best. We have to be encouraged knowing He saw the injustice and let Him give us comfort and rest. The person who offends us is not declared innocent by the kindness we place on their head. But God takes all the heartache retaliation would bring us and gives us a blessing instead.
