Change Or Revenge
Change or Revenge?
Written: by Miracle Man
6/10/2020
Silly season’s here and temperature’s ripe,
A time that finds many airing a legitimate gripe.
Many affix hand to a sign and join the throngs,
but revenge never cures our previous wrongs.*
For those who might seek, “an eye for an eye,”
Black Lives Matter has become a rallying cry.
We can’t change past history but we can restart,
But first lets let Jesus have control of our heart.
Romans 12 KJV
17 Repay no one evil for evil.
Have regard for good things in the sight of all men.
18 If it is possible, as much as depends on you, live peaceably with all men.
*19 Beloved, do not avenge yourselves, but rather give place to wrath;
for it is written, “Vengeance is Mine, I will repay,” says the Lord.
