Discovering freedom from plotting vengeance! We often encounter situations and people who hurt us, mistake us, harm us, who insult us, who plot against us, whose actions seem calculated simply to frustrate the successful achievement of our goals. Sometimes these are obvious acts, such as a co-worker or a family member who continually steals our ideas or speaks badly of us to our boss or family members. Sometimes these acts are more subtle – a friend, relative or colleague who unexpectedly mistakes us or betrays us or whom we find has been surreptitiously speaking negatively about us behind our back. We often wonder “How could he/she hurt me like that? How could they do this to me?” Then, our hearts become filled with anger and pain, and our minds start plotting vengeance. We need to develop a strong heart to grow over such situations.
