God has promised if we will put our trust in Him, He will pay us back for all the unfair things that have happened to us~Isaiah 61:7-9. Maybe you were cheated in a business deal and you lost a lot of money. Maybe somebody lied about you, and that misinformation kept you from getting a promotion. Or maybe a good friend betrayed you.
Certainly, these kinds of losses leave indelible scares, causing you to want to hold on to your grief. It would be logical for you to seek revenge. Many people would even encourage you to do so. The slogan "Don't get mad, get even!" is a commonly accepted principle.
But that's not God's plan for you. If you want to live your best life now, you must learn to trust God to bring about the justice in your life. The Bible says that God is a just God, and He will settle and solve the cases of His people (Hebrews 10:30). That means that you don't have to go around trying to pay everybody back for the wrong things they've done to you. You don't have to go around trying to get even with people. God is your vindicator. Let Him fight your battles for you. Let God settle your cases. God has promised if you'll turn matters over to Him and let Him handle them His way, He'll make your wrongs right. He'll bring justice into your life.
CONSIDER THIS:
When you know that God is fighting your battles, you can walk with a new confidence, with a spring in your step, a smile on your face, and a song in your heart. You are free! When you truly understand that you don't have to fix everything that happens to you, you don't have to get all upset and try to pay somebody back for what they did or didn't do, you don't have to worry, you don't have to try to manipulate the situation or control the circumstances or people involved.
When you have this kind of attitude, you are leaving the door wide open for God to pay you back. And remember, God always pays back abundantly.
~Joel Osteen
