REPAY NO ONE EVIL FOR EVIL

People only see the good in you when you're helping them.  But the first time you say no or get upset because of their selfishness and self-centeredness, everything you ever did for them is forgotten.  But, do not fret, argue or get upset and never try to get even with them; just leave them alone.  We do not have to go crazy or fight because when we put betrayal in God's hands, He will fix it.  Sometimes we have to cut our losses and love people from a distance to not corrupt our souls with anger, hate, or envy.  When we are good to people and misuse that goodness, they do not deserve to be in our presence, and the best thing we can do is give it to God and walk away.

Romans 12:17-21 Repay no one evil for evil but give thought to do what is honorable in the sight of all. If possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all. Beloved, never avenge yourselves, but leave it to the wrath of God, for it is written, "Vengeance is mine, I will repay, says the Lord." On the contrary, "if your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him something to drink; for by so doing, you will heap burning coals on his head." Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good."

Father, Your Word brings joy when we are sad, comfort when we are weary, guidance when confused, and encouragement when we are ready to quit. That's why we need to read and study it daily.  Lord, as we study Your Word, let it nourish, encourage, and exhort us. Father, let no one use Scripture to extort money, twist people's arms or put them under a cloud of guilt.  Lord, we are told to help our brothers and sisters in need, but let us understand the difference in conditions and wants.  Lord, we confess our sins, weakness, and fears; reconnect us with You; we want to be fully alive.  So, stir in us new hearts and minds that will equip our hands, Anoint our feet, empower our voice for Your service and work. Lord, we get sometimes confused about life; we sometimes feel we are not in the right place; please give us guidance in these uncertain times.  Lord, we genuinely want to be the people You created us to be, but we need Your help. Give us the wisdom, knowledge, and faith to accomplish Your purpose in our lives. Lord, someone is reading this that is in need of a break thru, a job, financial relief, guidance, protection, healing, or just dealing with life everyday problems; we ask You to allow it manifest or pass from them, in the name of Jesus, Amen
