“Friends, do not avenge yourselves; instead, leave room for God’s wrath, because it is written, Vengeance belongs to me;” Romans 12:19
I am not a great delegator. For one, I like to be in control. Secondly, I always think I can do it better myself. But third and sometimes more importantly, I never want to burden someone with either the task or even worse, the negative impact that the failure of the task may produce on someone else. I would much rather do it myself and then if it is done poorly, I am the only one who is hurt (or to blame). However, God is really good at vengeance AND He has requested to do it on my behalf, so I have chosen to "not be bitter, but to be better" and better for me is to leave vengeance to the Professional. And He is really good at it.
Lord, thank You that I don't have to worry about "paybacks" or "revenge" or "getting even", and I can move on and be productive instead.
