for our souls : REFUSE TO REVENGE

Not rendering evil for evil, or railing for railing: but contrariwise blessing; knowing that ye are thereunto called, that ye should inherit a blessing 

1 Peter 3:9

Philip Yancey, describing forgiveness as an unnatural act, says, You don't find dolphins forgiving sharks for eating their play mates. It ™s a dog-eat-dog world ¦not a dog-forgive-dog world. Youths by their nature and the devil's work can be erratic in their reactions to offences, often trying to retaliate. Forgiveness is so hard because the devil puts forth all his efforts to keep the memory of the pain there, lest we should forgive each other,” wrote David Yonggi Cho. Our text warns against revenge and encourages love and forgiveness. God expects us to love and forgive those who hate us. David had several opportunities to kill Saul who was after his life but refused to revenge. He allowed God to avenge him. Like David, allow God to fight your battles. You can forgive heartily if you are born again. You can surrender to Christ now and your Christian calling will be fulfilled, other youths will be drawn to Christ and God will be pleased with you as you manifest a forgiving attitude.
Challenge: Learn to forgive your offenders
Prayer: Help me Lord to overcome evil with good
Quote: Forgive your offenders
Further Reading: Romans 12:17-21

  لماذا تحولت من الإسلام إلى المسيحية. لقد تحولت  من الإسلام إلى المسيحية لمجرد أن الإسلام لا يعطي أي ضمان للخلاص. لأن الإسلام يعترف بأن المسيح هو "كلمة الله" لذلك فإن الله "المسيح" لذلك هو المخلص (سورة 3 آية 45). لأن الله يعترف في القرآن أن أولئك الذين يتبعون عيسى المسيح (المسيحيين) سيكونون فوق أولئك الذين لا يتبعون يسوع المسيح (المسلمون وغيرهم) حتى القيامة (سورة 3 ضد 55). لأن القرآن نفسه يعترف بأن يسوع المسيح بلا خطيئة (سورة 19: 19) ، بينما يطلب القرآن من محمد أن يصلي من أجل مغفرة ذنوبه (سورة 40: 55). على عكس محمد ، عاش يسوع أكثر من 33 عامًا دون أن يخطئ أبدًا. لقد تحولت لأن محمد نصح بقتل الأعداء (سورة 9 ضد 5) يوصي السيد المسيح بمحبتهم (متى 5 ضد 44). أكد محمد للتو ، لكن السيد المسيح أكد كلماته بكل أنواع المعجزات وقيامته لموته. لقد تحولت لأن محمد يطلب من المسلمين أن يلجأوا إلى المسيحيين للحصول على الحقيقة (سورة 10 ضد 94). لقد تحولت لأنه على الرغم من ادعاء محمد بأنه خاتم الأنبياء ، إلا أنه مات ولن يعود أبدًا ، لكن يسوع المسيح الذي كرهته من قبل ، مات وقام من بين الأمو...

As a muslim why I am converted to cbristianity/En tant que musulmanne pourquoi je suis convertie au christianisme

  WHY I CONVERTED FROM ISLAM TO CHRISTIANITY. I converted from Islam to Christianity simply because Islam gives no guarantee of salvation.  Because Islam recognises that Jesus is 'the word of God' so God "the Messiah" therefore the savior ( Surah 3 v 45).  Because Allah recognises in the Qur'an that those who follow Jesus Christ (Christians) will be above those who do not follow Jesus Christ ( Muslims and others) until resurrection ( surah 3 v 55).  Because Qur'an itself recognises that Jesus Christ is without sin (pure) (surah 19 v 19), while the Qur'an asks Mohammed to pray for the forgiveness of his sins ( surah 40 v 55). Unlike Mohammed, Jesus has lived more than 33 years without ever sinning. I converted because where Mohammed recommends the killing of enemies, (surah 9 v 5) Jesus Christ recommends loving them (Matthew 5 v 44). Mohammed just affirmed, but Jesus Christ confirmed his words with all kinds of miracles and resurrection of his death. I conv...
