Revenge

Frankly, after spending a whole evening at a concert in which I spent more money than it was worth - 
my friend wanting to make an ex- sex buddy jealous, and so we cruised looking for guys?
My own thoughts of making another man "want" me, making him wish he didn't have his live-in girlfriend, 
I faced the thoughts of "revenge" this morning.
And what a real waste of time.
Truly.


We make ourselves miserable wanting some other person to wish that they were with US, instead of enjoying ourselves, enjoying the people around us.  Enjoying the event we apparently came to see.


And for what?


Whether THEY care or not, we most likely will never know.
Revenge? eh, sometimes you get it and sometimes the best "revenge" is simply to stop caring that you - well - ever even kissed the guy.
Sometimes you get it in a form of him making himself available to you at a dance, only to realize that you don't care that he is there.


Like love, "revenge" doesn't always come when WE want it.  Or in the form that we want it.


Truly, think about it.  If I have experienced many times when seeing an ex - 
an ex-husband,
an ex-boyfriend, 
an ex-lover,
an ex-crush....
and they do nothing for me,
in fact I may laugh at whatever tactic they do pull,
don't they, in fact, have times they feel that way about me?
And even if they don't, who cares?? 


I rarely quote the Bible; I certainly haven't in my blog.
Though this morning, I thought God's statement of "revenge is mine," and thus telling us, His people to not focus on revenge, isn't just about someone doing us "wrong."  It's also about times when life doesn't go the way we want it to.
