2. Scripture Verse

i) Romans 12:1 New Century Version (NCV) 


12 So brothers and sisters, since God has shown us great mercy, I beg you to offer your lives as a living sacrifice to him. Your offering must be only for God and pleasing to him, which is the spiritual way for you to worship.

3. Thoughts

a) Resentment is the cocaine of the emotions. It causes our blood to pump and our energy level to rise. But, also like cocaine, it demands increasingly large and more frequent dosages. There is a dangerous point at which anger ceases to be an emotion and becomes a driving force. A person bent on revenge moves unknowingly further and further away from being able to forgive, for to be without the anger is to be without a source of energy.

b) Hatred is the rabid dog that turns on its owner.

c) Revenge is the raging fire that consumes the arsonist.

d) Bitterness is the trap that snares the hunter.

e) And mercy is the choice that can set them all free.
