When someone has done you wrong the first instinct is:
“It’s payback time.”
You spend your time and energy getting upset trying to plot revenge. Humans are some very vengeful for creatures. Whenever we feel as though we’ve been wronged or have been caused some kind of pain, we want those ones who did it to feel it, or even feel worse.
Well I’m here to tell you the best way to get back at those that have done you wrong is to be nice.
I can speak personally from this experience. Growing up I went to a high school out of my neighborhood because Mama said so. When I got there I was the outcast dumb ghetto girl because of the side of town I was raised on. I was picked on, picked at and even threaten.
Well being young and where I was from, my first instinct was that of your average human being to fight back. The battle with this person went on throughout all four years of high school. Then I remember my mom saying you need to stop using all this energy for negativity, killer her with kindness and she won’t know what to do.
Senior year that’s exactly what I did, she didn’t know how to react, or respond to me. It got to the point where she tried to avoid me because I was speaking to her, if she dropped something in the hallway I picked it up for her, all in all I became cordial. I no longer let her negativity consume me.
Romans 12:19-21 Speaks of how to handle these situations:
19Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord.
20Therefore if thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him drink: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head.
21Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.
So when someone has caused you pain, or done you wrong, don’t get mad, don’t get even:
KILL EM WITH KINDNESS, because that’s not your battle to fight, but the Lord’s.
