Love conquers hate

1 Thessalonians 5:15 See that no one renders evil for evil to anyone, but always pursue what is good both for yourselves and for all.

Renders, or repays, or gives! Im not to return evil or sin against another just because they have done me wrong. This goes totally against my flesh & mindset. I not only want to render damage, but more damage! The Old Testament stated an eye for an eye, why? This also is consistant to justice but not vengeance. You see, if someone I hated takes my eye, I would want to take both of his to show him a lesson. CANT DO THAT! Give love in place of hate. There is a powerful thing that takes place when we replace our angers for love. Ive personally witnessed the powerful effect it has on my life and those who are recipient's. You will heap coals on their heads! You silence the devils attack! Its much harder to maintain a feud when good is being given.
