Resolution 5



   Based on Jonathan Edward's resolutions I have written 25 of my own (Edwards had too many and they were written in old English). I have spent a few years meditating on them and they have been a great help. Maybe they will edify and inspire you. Here is number 5:
I am resolved ...
To never to do anything out of revenge.

Romans 12:19
Matthew 5:38 - 39
Ephesians 4:26-27

Revenge and justice belongs in the hands of God who is above all and is perfect. With his help I will keep my blood cool when others insult or hurt me. The heart of revenge is unforgiveness and God has commanded us to forgive others as we have been forgiven.
