1. Romans 12:17 Do not repay anyone evil for evil.for evil. Be careful to do what is right in the eyes of everyone. If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone.
2. Romans 14:19 Let us therefore follow after the things which make for peace, and things wherewith one may edify another.
3. Psalm 34:14 Turn away from evil and do good. Search for peace, and work to maintain it.
4. Hebrews 12:14 Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord.
I just found out the person who caused me a lot of pain is returning in my life. I thought he was gone but I had this gut feeling even though his position changed he would still be in my life. And even though it is difficult I was somehow prepared for it. I know why he acts the way he does. I see the pain of a former life that was difficult. I want to reach out to him and say you don't have to be the big bad wolf. Show a little compassion and you can succeed. Be nice to me. I will be one of your supporters whether you are nice to me or not. But it would be nice to be kind to me. I feel like you are Saul and out of nowhere you throw your mental spear of hate and anger. I choose to stay in the background and pray for you. But you have to be the one to change and I pray that through my consistent witness you will transform. Until then I will pray for you and that the Lord will heal your heart.
Last in the meantime I choose to be my own cheerleader. I can't control others but in the midst of the trials and tribulations the Lord can give me wisdom on how to handle the test.
