Pay back, tit-for-tat.Retaliation, NO last
word, only blessing.
Not punishment but
victory in blessing your foe.
Answer with blessing.
Insult for instult?
NO. Instead, let your light shine.
Obtain a blessing.

Father God, in You we put our trust. You are the one who requites with the vengence needed. We leave it to you, but we also knowYou are the one and only God of mercy, grace and love. Teach us to love our enemies to do good to them instead of what our natural human nature would love to do in retaliation of some offense or misdeed done to us by others. Teach us to forgive and to 'pay back' with blessing and words of peace. It's a tall order but with Your Holy Spirit's help we ask in Jesus' name, amen.
