Our 'Judas'

We live in a world filled with anger, polarization, disconnect, revenge, apathy/indifference and injustices.  We will be wronged many times in our lives....and yes, we ourselves will wrong others.  How do we react?  Do we want to get even, right the wrong, show we are better than they?   What was Jesus example?  John 13 shows Jesus attitude towards those that will deny, betray.....sin against Him.  He shows love, kindness, compassion and extends grace......He washed their feet.  God says vengeance is His (Romans 12:19 and Deuteronomy 32:35).  How are you reacting toward the "Judas's" of your life. How can we expect to be forgiven and shown love and mercy, if we do not practice that serving attitude?  We must be able to deny and humble ourselves to forgive when we have been hurt/wronged.......to extend love, kindness and compassion......'to wash feet',  allowing God to judge and make all the wrongs ---right--- in His timing.  Easy?  not in our inherent human emotions, but with God's power available, it is definitely possible....and commanded.  Blessings in your pursuit.......TO
