It is in your human nature to desire to get even when others cheat us, hurt us or malign our character in one way or another. However, God through Paul gives us another vantage point on mistreatment. Why not allow yourself to be mistreated, knowing that the God of heaven is watching and that He will richly repay that person who mistreated you in His time. We may think it soft to refuse to retaliate, however, to the person that trusts God, he is aware that God has a time table in which he will reward and bring His judgment. If you are mistreated this day rest in the fact that God is watching, and you are honoring God by leaving your mistreatment in His divine hands. Make no mistake about it, God never forgets and will always repay. He has guaranteed it with His Word.
