Do Not Repay Evil for Evil

Do not repay evil for evil or reviling for reviling, but on the contrary, bless, for to this you were called, that you may obtain a blessing. 1 Peter 3:9
Repay no one evil for evil, but give thought to do what is honorable in the sight of all. Romans 12:17 
See that no one repays anyone evil for evil, but always seek to do good to one another and to everyone. 1 Thessalonians 5:15
I listened to Maxine Waters telling those that listen to her to harass Trump supporters.  I hope if there are Christian people in her district that they will obey the word of God over her.  The Bible tells us not to do that. I know there are Christian people that lean left. Just as there are non Christians that lean right. What ever our political beliefs we need to follow God's word. I remember Michelle Obama had a cliché that she spoke, " When they go low we go high:, but that is not what we see happening. We saw a restaurant refuse to serve Sarah Huckabee Sanders  because she works for the Trump White House and is well known. That is what the Bible tells us not to do. Perhaps the owners of that particular restaurant are some of these that think Trump is evil. They have a right to their opinion, but God says do not repay evil for evil. They are wrong. We were wrong if we did the same to Obama or to Clinton or to Bush. We are to seek to do good to one another and to everyone. Even when we are on the opposite sides politically we are to do good. I believe these actions of retaliation against anyone that supports Trump is actually working against the left. I believe if they actually worked with the elected leader of our country their standing during the next election would actually be better.  From what I see and read it seems like most of these actions are back firing.  Sometimes we feel it is unfair when the left can lie, cheat, use falsified papers and everything else corrupt to win at any cost. But over and over again it seems to backfire. So I don't think we are losing by doing what is right in God's sight. God makes the rules to live by and after a lifetime it seems to end up right in the end. I remember early in my career, I reported theft and it became known. I really felt lower than a snake, but when I saw at the end of my career, when my supervisor came back from a meeting with all the electrical supervisors dividing up the money for raises, I realized how from those early years when I felt so alone and so low how God had my back. I tried to do right over and over again, year after year. My supervisor came back from that meeting and told me , they know you, your reputation precedes you. She said when I brought up your name for a raise, it was a slam dunk. I didn't have to say a word. I think of that word above that says; "that you may obtain a blessing." I had no idea how things had changed over the years. I remembered when they had to put me on second shift for my own safety. Many a time I felt discouraged thinking things were not all that great, but at the end realizing that God had my back the whole time. I wasn't the smartest person, most educated, or talented, but over and over again I tried to do what I thought was right. I lived by my conscience. I wasn't there to force my way on others but simply to live a life of integrity. I wasn't the best at it especially in the early years. Many times the thought had come to me to repay evil for evil. but I resisted, and I think I have been truly blessed and obtained the blessing promised in 1 Peter 3:9. I have not lost anything by trying to live a Christian life. I wasn't perfect, I made mistakes, but I tried, and God did bless.  God bless, LVZ.
