This was quoted in an article in Tomorrows World Magazine. I had read it before but this article "A Man Without Vengeance" also talked about Abraham Lincoln and how he was without a desire for vengeance. That made me think about this differently. I would like to be like that myself. Not sure I will ever manage it in this world...but one has to try!!
"Repay no one evil for evil. Have regard for good things in the sight of all men. If it is possible, as much as depends on you, live peaceably with all men. Beloved, do not avenge yourselves, but rather give place to wrath; for it is written 'Vengeance is mine, I will repay', says the Lord. 'Therefore, if your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him a drink...' Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good." Romans 12:17-21
Thanks for sharing! I would love to live that way, too.
