Day 10

Proverbs 10:12, Rom. 12:17

Our worst tendencies want to repay evil with evil, spite for spite, pettiness with pettiness,and hatred with hatred. God has always wanted his people to be the redemptive influence in their world, society, and relationships. Paul reminded the Christians in Rome to ''not repay evil with evil''. Here, God's wise man teaches us a similar truth. Love removes the teeth out of difficult situations, while hatred only turns up the flames of bitterness and hate. We're called to be a different kind of people that leave the world a better place. It isn't always easy, but it is always powerful.
