I came across an interesting story this week that hit home with me.  It goes like this: while checking his bags at the airport, a traveler became indignant, rude, and belligerent with the employee who handled luggage.  For several minutes he belittled the young man and criticized his every move.  Surprisingly, the curbside porter didn’t seem at all troubled by this man’s verbal abuse.  After the angry man entered the airport, a woman approached the luggage handler and asked, “How do you put up with such injustice?”  The young man said, “It’s easy.  That guy’s going to New York, but I’m sending his bags to Brazil.”  Now that’s an interesting way to deal with an injustice!  So, how do you deal with a situation when you have been wronged?  It happens to all of us, and it can really hurt.  And sometimes in that hurt, we respond with anger, open animosity or perhaps quiet, succulent, satisfying revenge by simply “sending the bags to Brazil” (that would be me!).  Or at times the response is completely inward and turns into the destructive force we call bitterness.  But have you ever thought about the fact that reacting with restraint in moments of hurt and wrong shows faith that God can take care of the injustice without our involvement?  God’s word clearly teaches this type of response in Romans 12:19-21.  “Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord.  Therefore if thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him drink: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head.  Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.”  Good advice from God’s word!  So when someone wrongs you, be sure to go ahead and send the luggage on to New York, if you know what I mean.
