Today’s Bible Verse:
"Do not repay anyone evil for evil. Be careful to do what is right in the eyes of everyone."Romans 12:17

When someone wrongs us, our natural instinct is to hold on to the pain—or even seek payback. But Scripture calls us to a higher way: one of forgiveness, trust in God’s justice, and freedom from bitterness. Letting go doesn’t mean excusing sin—it means refusing to let someone else’s actions control your spirit. With God’s strength, you can release the burden and walk in healing.
