*GIVE GLORY TO GOD ALL YOUR DAYS*
What has any one of us done for God, or given to God that he should have sent his Son, Jesus, to save us? We have done nothing to deserve salvation. We have done nothing to deserve any of the blessings we have been given. It is only through the unconditional love of God that any of this has been done. True, we can look around and see that others may be better looking or smarter, or healthier or wealthier than others. There will be those who seem to have more and we might feel cheated. But just as they did nothing to deserve what they have, we have done nothing to deserve what we have. God's gifts are not based on whether or not we deserve what we have but the gifts we have been given fit into his plan for our benefit and the benefit of others. Many years ago there was a movie called "It's A Wonderful Life." In the movie the main character feels like he is a failure and that it would have been better if he had never been born. In the course of the movie, he learns about how his life has touched others in both major and minor ways. But each person he touched also influenced the lives of others. We don't always see the effect our lives have on others, but God does. If we never existed, someone's life would have been less for our not being there. The most important thing we have received is the gift of eternal life and none of us have done anything to deserve that. And so we pray as Paul did:
*ROMANS 11:34-36*
GOOD MORNING

Why is silence the best revenge?

Imagine.. someone hurts you or does somethingn mean, and you feel really upset about it.

Now, instead of reacting right away and getting back at them, sometimes it's better to take a step back and stay quiet. That's what we mean by "silence is the best revenge."

When you choose to be silent, you're not giving the person the reaction they want. They might expect you to get angry or upset, but instead, you stay calm and composed. It can make them realize that their actions didn't affect you as much as they thought.

Silence can also protect you from getting caught up in drama or saying things you might regret later. It gives you time to process your emotions and decide how you want to handle the situation without getting into unnecessary arguments or conflicts.

Remember, being silent doesn't mean you're weak or powerless. It's actually a sign of strength and self-control. It shows that you're choosing not to engage in negativity and that you value your peace of mind more than getting back at someone.

Sometimes, silence can speak louder than words, and it might make the other person reflect on their actions. It's a way of taking the higher road and focusing on your own well-being instead of getting caught up in revenge or negativity.

Of course, everyone's situation is different, and sometimes speaking up and addressing the issue directly can also be important. But in some cases, when the best revenge is to protect your own peace and happiness, silence can be a powerful choice…
