πŸ’₯ If someone defrauds you.

 
The world quickly files a lawsuit against that person who they think did wrong toward themselves.

I Corinthians 6  

1 Dare any of you, having a matter against another, go to law before the unjust, and not before the saints?

2 Do ye not know that the saints shall judge the world? and if the world shall be judged by you, are ye unworthy to judge the smallest matters?

3 Know ye not that we shall judge angels? how much more things that pertain to this life?

4 If then ye have judgments of things pertaining to this life, set them to judge who are least esteemed in the church.

5 I speak to your shame. Is it so, that there is not a wise man among you? no, not one that shall be able to judge between his brethren?

6 But brother goeth to law with brother, and that before the unbelievers.

7 Now therefore there is utterly a fault among you, because ye go to law one with another. Why do ye not rather take wrong? why do ye not rather suffer yourselves to be defrauded?

8 Nay, ye do wrong, and defraud, and that your brethren.


Recently a man came to change a cable in my TV.  When he left my house, the work he had done made the TV worse, not better.  I had already paid his company for that cable.  I told Pam Padgett if they billed us for labor, pay what they required rather than fight them.  (I'm sure at one time I would have fought the bill for unsatisfactory work.  But I have come to the decision that it is better to suffer loss than to "shame" another person and cause the unsatisfactory laborer loss.)

I would not want to be a part of causing another person harm.  

If the food is unsatisfactory at a cafΓ©, just don't go back! 

Live in peace.  Go forward in peace.

I believe God will repay us and give us blessings when we resist doing evil toward them because they did evil toward us.

The way of the world is opposite to the way of God.
