Eye For An Eye

Good morning and happy Thursday. What if it really was an eye for eye? If what was done to you, you done back. Someone takes your car, you get theirs. Someone hurts you, you can hurt them. Equal justice for the crimes against you. Thank you God it's not like that. Because I have hurt people with words and actions that I don't want back on me. Things always sound better when it's in our favor or best interest. Until we look at ourselves and examine who and what we are, we have no business worrying about anyone elses business. As communal as God wants us to be, we have to be better individuals first. We deserve death, and it comes, but God shows us grace first. Mercy pours from Him first. That's not how we usually deal with others. We have to get to that place to truly be Gods servants. We do what we can, the best that we can. That feels good. But there is more we can do and our best is not what God knows as our best. Show mercy and grace to others and work on ourselves to be better with our own sin. I really don't want my eyes poked out. Thank you God for your mercy and grace. In love always <><
