Good Morning!
The headline read: No End to Cycle of Revenge in Mideast. In the wake of suicide bombings and military retaliation, the article told of a 28-year-old man consumed with avenging his uncle's death. “When someone dear to you is killed,” he said, “you can't sleep; you have to have revenge.” But, after killing two men, he considered enemies; he still had no satisfaction or peace.
No one wins by trying to even the score. Revenge is a weapon of such devastating power that God alone can handle it. God says, “Vengeance is mine, I will repay.” The weapon God has entrusted to us is kindness. If your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him drink. Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good. If needed, use the justice system, not revenge.
