QUOTES ON REVENGE

You will inevitably be hurt, offended and deeply wounded in life. Your reaction however to all the wrong or unfair things done to you clearly reflects the true state of your heart. For you as a child of God, revenge is not an option. Learn to let go and let God because He has promised to take vengeance on your behalf. (Romans 12:19).

Here are a couple of quotes that hopefully will remind you that every time you take revenge you are actually taking the place of God and denying Him an opportunity to fight for you.
