See that none render evil for evil unto any man; but ever follow that which is good, both among yourselves, and to all men. 1Thes. 5:15
Now if I bless someone or pray for that person even when they do me harm or hurt me in any way, I am making an enemy a friend. This is so powerful, because I now follow peace. In the midst of my injustice, of my hurt, I can look to what is good in their heart and bless them. I can walk with all men in peace even when they do me evil. This destroys all unforgiveness, bitterness, and anger,, all of this eventually turns to hate. I am only hurting myself and separating myself from God. In reconciling I place that man in Gods hand, and not worrying about it myself. He will be the one who deals with my heart and another’s, thus freeing me to walk in peace with others. Its hard at times, but I have to, it is my witness to all men.
