When God comes into our lives, He pours his love into our hearts. Immediately, we learn to love others and endure all our hurts and pains. More than ten years ago, before I gave my life to Christ, I took vengeance on one of my friends.

She was my girlfriend for about three years. We were very fond of each other and in a very serious relationship. In the first few months after we started dating, she was already cheating on me. I was so hurt because, despite my commitment and love, she was unconcerned. I could remember, I had to beg and cry in her hostel to stop cheating on me. But she was cold and just wanted to live her life on her own terms. I had already made up my mind to retaliate in the most terrible way.

For there is no authority except from God, and those that exist have been instituted by God. Therefore whoever resists the authorities resists what God has appointed, and those who resist will incur judgment. For rulers are not a terror to good conduct, but to bad. Would you have no fear of the one who is in authority? Then do what is good, and you will receive his approval, for he is God's servant for your good.

But if you do wrong, be afraid, for he does not bear the sword in vain. For he is the servant of God, an avenger who carries out God's wrath on the wrongdoer. Therefore one must be in subjection, not only to avoid God's wrath but also for the sake of conscience. The Lord is a jealous and avenging God; the Lord is avenging and wrathful; the Lord takes vengeance on his adversaries and keeps wrath for his enemies. Repay no one evil for evil, but give thought to do what is honorable in the sight of all.

If possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all. Beloved, do not be surprised at the fiery trial when it comes upon you to test you, as though something strange were happening to you.
