Whereas, biblical Christianity rests in the justice of God. Vengeance belongs to him, he will repay.' This is tremendously liberating, and gives strength to avoid returning evil for evil.

I don't remember who said it, but someone was robbed in the street and wrote this in their journal: “Let me be thankful first because I was never robbed before; second, although they took my wallet, they did not take my life; third, because although they took my all, it was not much; and fourth, because it was I who was robbed, it was not I who robbed.” ~Kate Which Proverbs 14:1 Woman? http://proverbs14-1.blogspot.com That reminds me of a quote I’ve read.
