A ministry colleague of mine was badly and cruelly hurt some years ago. Recently the tables were turned, so to speak, and circumstances very similar to those that had brought such pain to my friend came to bear in the lives of some who caused my colleague pain.
In a conversation I pointed out my admiration for the lack of any revenge, or "get even" mentality.
The response was marvelously challenging and encouraging.
"We dealt with that a number of years ago . . ."
And because of that not only did my friend find great joy, but, vicariously, so did I.
