Chapter 99.

Prisca could feel her eyes tearing up as she listened to doctor Walter.

Even Joy could not help herself, but Prisca seem to be taken down even more about the talk on revenge.

Bible does talk about revenge. The Bible tells us we are not to take revenge on others as revenge is the Lord’s. Paul tells us in Romans 12:19, “My dear friends, don’t try to get even. Leave room for God to show his anger.

It is written, ‘I am the God who judges people. I will pay them back,’ says the Lord” (Deuteronomy 32:35). 

What Does it Mean to Seek Revenge?

Well-known artist, Taylor Swift, has widely popularized the idea of taking revenge. In her song “Better Than Revenge,” she sings, “There is nothing I do better than revenge.” It is not surprising that modern-day culture has popularized the trend of taking revenge on others.

Human beings tend to believe it is in our right to take revenge on others. If a person wrongs you, the immediate reaction of most of us is to “get even” with them. The Bible tells us this is wrong as we should never try to “get even” with someone nor should we seek out revenge on them. Only God has righteous revenge.

His revenge is not rooted in hate, pride, or sin. God’s vengeance is rooted in His perfectly holy nature. Hebrews 10:30 says, “For we know him who said, ‘It is mine to avenge; I will repay,’ and again, ‘The Lord will judge his people.’”

Seeking out revenge is never a good thing to do. It is inevitable that others will hurt us in our lives, even our own family, friends, and other Christians; however, we should never seek revenge toward them. Revenge stems out of pride and hatred.

Prisca broke down and started crying, she could not lie to herself anymore, she could not hold back her sins anymore, she cried till her nose started to run, she suddenly felt sick, she wanted to cough, sneeze and throw up at the same time.

Walter felt there was need for him to continue, this was his way of wining souls to God.

He was a good man, though he was a widower, he still have great faith in God and would not allow any chance to save a soul pass him by.

Even if you seek out revenge because a person clearly wrongs you in a very unbiblical manner, you still should not seek revenge on the person. God will repay everyone according to what they have done (Romans 2:6).

You can rest assured that no matter what a person has done to you, God knows, and He will repay accordingly. We should never try to intervene on God’s behalf because revenge is the Lord’s--not ours (Deuteronomy 32:35).

"I can go on and on, there is no joy, no gain in taking revenge.

Leave all, leave everything for the Lord, he alone is the perfecter of everything.
