An Eye For An Eye
- Matthew 5:38-39 “You have heard that it was said, ‘Eye for eye, and tooth for tooth.39 But I tell you, do not resist an evil person. If anyone slaps you on the right cheek, turn to them the other cheek also.”
Notice that when you are turning your cheek for a deceived one to slap, in the action of turning your head, you are also turning away your vision. With your eyes pointing in another direction, you do not see or focus on the deceived one’s sin. With your eyes in another direction, you are not distracted from Me. With your eyes away from your own pain, you are filled with Me. When your eyes are on Me, then you have strength to endure and patience to wait. You cannot focus on the sin of others and receive strength from Me at the same time. Allow the persecution to happen. Focus on Me. Let all fall into My Hands. This is abandonment to Me. This is what miracles are made of. This brings My Kingdom to Earth.
