Have you ever felt so wronged that you wanted to plot an elaborate revenge to get the person back? You felt like they just took your heart and shattered it? Or someone spread rumors about you and it hurt you among family and friends? Or someone wronged you at work and it cost you a promotion or a position? Or even worse, you were fired?
Don’t waste your time on revenge. Those who hurt you will eventually face their own karma.

We’ve all been there. We’ve all felt that anger, hurt and betrayal. And we’ve all had the thought, “I just want to…!” You just want to make them feel how you felt. They need to see how it feels when someone does the same thing to them, right?
But don’t. Step back. Take a few deep breaths. Trying to get revenge will hurt you even more. Strong people move on with their head held high. Once you’ve reached a certain level of strength, you will see that trying to create revenge for these people will keep you down at their level. The reason they did the mean thing to you was because they already saw you as someone higher than themselves. They wanted to hurt you because they want to be you and they can’t.
Seeking revenge for real or perceived wrongs puts you on the same level as the one who has hurt you. They will get theirs. Trust God on that. You may not see it right away, but it always, always comes back to them.
If you are good to people, it comes back to you. If you mistreat people, it comes back to you. Plain and simple.
Blessings to you!
