This one really made me think. 🤔 I love how this quote challenges me to reflect on my own life and decisions. It’s not just motivational—it’s thought-provoking. It encourages me to take a deeper look at myself and how I approach certain situations. Sometimes, we need to be reminded to pause and think before we act, and this quote does exactly that. It’s going to stick with me for a while, and I’m so grateful for this moment of introspection!

Romans 12:17-21 – "Do not repay anyone evil for evil. Be careful to do what is right in the eyes of everyone. If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone. Do not take revenge, my dear friends, but leave room for God’s wrath, for it is written: 'It is mine to avenge; I will repay,' says the Lord. On the contrary: 'If your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him something to drink. In doing this, you will heap burning coals on his head.' Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good."
