​Sometimes someone wronged you
or caused you pain and naturally you struck back to get even.
​You felt you have to
because you didn't deserve such. Even if you believe in karma, or the eternal laws of God that clearly states that no wrongdoing escapes unpunished or that God always pays back for every wrong done, you still chose to pay back your way. Your pride urged you to avenge because you can't bear to see yourself inflicted by anyone and you felt nobody has the right to hurt you or cause you pain. But how wrong we all are by feeling that way. And how unbelieving we have been by not relying on God's laws. God' laws never fail even once and it remains that way forever. Punishment for wrongdoing may take a long time to happen but will surely happen. It's just that there's a time set for it to happen just like everything else. And everything happens in God's set time. Patience, just patience.
​So do not take the laws into your hands
and do not take vengeance for yourself for you don't have the right to pay back, only God has. Besides, your payback maybe more than is due and you maybe causing more pain, injury, embarrassment, etc. than what is deserved. It should always be a tooth for a tooth, an eye for an eye, a foot for a foot and no more. When you want to have it your way, then think about this: if someone slapped your face once, then slap his face back but only once not twice or three times. Give to him back exactly what you received from him and no more, no less. But the big question is, how can you be sure that your payback is not more and not less than what is deserved? So don't spend time for vengeance and let God do it for you because He's the only one who knows how. And also remember to reflect on your attitude, your behavior that might be causing someone to hurt you. Maybe you deserve the hurt after all. You might not realize it. There were some things we did that we all thought were okay but not okay for other people. So think again.
