Our last message was about giving up bitterness in our hearts and it naturally follows that we\u2019d talk about actions connected to letting go on the heels of that subject. You see, if we allow bitterness to take root in our hearts, then the fruit of that root is bound to be seeking vengeance against the person who wronged us. We often \u201cjust want to get even\u201d with the person who has wronged us. But that is not the way of the disciple of Jesus. The opposite attitude is what we\u2019re called to display. We are different from the world around us who sees vengeance as the right of the wronged. We are different in that we love our enemies and pray for those that persecute us. We are different in that we leave vengeance to the Lord and His will and instead we love and even serve those who have hurt us, no matter how deep the pain. Difficult? Yes. Impossible? No...because nothing is impossible for God and God lives within you...so God lives through you and moves you to the place of \u201cTaking Up Kindness\u201d with everyone, even enemies, every single day.
