Today’s Bible Verse:
"Do not repay anyone evil for evil. Be careful to do what is right in the eyes of everyone." — Romans 12:17

When someone wrongs us, our natural instinct is to hold on to the pain—or even seek payback. But Scripture calls us to a higher way: one of forgiveness, trust in God’s justice, and freedom from bitterness. Letting go doesn’t mean excusing sin—it means refusing to let someone else’s actions control your spirit. With God’s strength, you can release the burden and walk in healing.

Today’s Bible Verse:
“If anyone comes to me and does not hate father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters—yes, even their own life—such a person cannot be my disciple." - Luke 14:26

At first glance, Luke 14:26 can feel shocking and even confusing. Why would Jesus use such strong language about family and even our own lives? In this passage, Jesus is teaching that following Him requires absolute devotion—a love for Him so great that every other loyalty pales in comparison.
