BEST FORM OF VENGENCE.

Enemies were used to destroy me.
My reputation was at stake.
I pleaded with the Lord to judge my case.
That he avenges all the wrongs done me.
But the Lord was silent.

I fasted for weeks on end.
But nothing happened.
I cried and prayed at the midnight hour,
But Still no answer
I worshiped and praised him,
But he was still silent.

I inquired of the Lord
And he said to me,
"There is life and power in the tongue
In the midst of the silence
I was working with you.
To keep your heart from bitterness.
To keep your tongue from wagging,
and strengthen your mind for every battle"

Then God finally said,
"My child I want you to know this,
Enemies can easily be destroyed,
And reputation can be corrected over time,
But the best form of vengeance is preservation"
