No Lose Ends

On February 23, we are reminded of God's sovereignty in our lives, where He works everything to its proper end, including the wicked. Miroslav Volf highlights the importance of belief in divine vengeance as a crucial aspect of non-violence practice. When we feel wronged, the temptation to retaliate is strong, yet trusting in God’s justice liberates us from this burden. We can let go of the desire for revenge knowing that God will eventually right all wrongs. Forgiveness becomes possible, especially when we find it hard to forgive those who have wronged us. By understanding that we lack the right to judge others, we can confidently place our grievances in God's hands. This devotional encourages reflection on anyone we may struggle to forgive and invites us to seek God's guidance and strength to move forward with grace. Remember, God sees into the hearts of others and knows their past, far better than we can. So, we must resist the urge to judge and instead focus on our own faith journey.
