Hello, my friends. I hope you are doing well out there in this crazy world.

Welcome back to the Morning Mindset. If you're new to the Morning Mindset,

I want to welcome you especially. My name is Kerry Green. I am a retired pastor

who is still teaching the Word of God through this online ministry of the Morning Mindset.

You can find out more at carrygreen.com. My name's spelled little differently,

so let me spell it for you at C-A-R-E-Y. Green, like the color.com.

Today, we're going to be talking about repaying evil for evil.

Now, let me give you a scenario here to get us into our topic for the day.

Imagine that you were working alongside someone in a team at work

and you all worked diligently on the project.

You put in some very specific specialized attention to the project

and that specific work that you did caused the project to just be amplified

and to become even more productive. And then when it comes time to present the product

to your superiors and to receive their feedback, someone else on your team

takes full credit for the things that you did.

Now, that's an evil thing and they get praised, they get a bonus, they get all kinds of things

and you get nothing.

It is natural human tendency to feel, first of all,

slided and taken advantage of in a situation like that because truly you have been slided

and you have been taken advantage of. But then it's natural human tendency

to want to make that person who did the wrong pay for what they've done.

This idea of revenge or payback is really what we're looking at today.
