If you asked me if I would sacrifice justice for all the harm that has been caused in favour of a glorious future for everyone, I guess I would take the hit and enjoy life.
We can't afford to get hung up on balancing the scales if it means losing the victory.
Of course, in an ideal world we will have both, but I have my doubts about that (at least from our perspective).
I'm not dooming here btw, this is based on years of observation around an unknown aspect of 'The Secret' (aka wish fulfillment aka trust in God).
There have been numerous times in my life when someone has seriously crossed me, enough for my mind to go to some very dark places when thinking about 'balancing the scales' so to speak.
However, Jesus taught me to let go and let 'The Universe' handle it. At first I was very skeptical, but as the years have rolled on I could recite half a dozen instances where I actually did manage to let go and then months/years later discover that the person/company who harmed me had indeed been 'balanced' - just not by my hand.
If harm comes to me and mine, my job is to trust in the light and put my best foot forward to make our lives better - not dwell on grievances which can eventually poison your soul.
And when I say 'dark' places, let's just say I'm not proud of what my mind is capable of conjuring up in that respect.
Vengeance is Mine, and recompense; Their foot shall slip in due time; For the day of their calamity is at hand, And the things to come hasten upon them. - Deuteronomy 32:35
Our Continental Army probably didn't care about balancing the scales........they were too busy trying to stay alive and WINNING THE WAR. WE ARE AT WAR. THERE ARE CASUALTIES IN WAR. Motto of WW1 "PRAISE THE LORD AND PASS THE AMUNITION." We hate war, but sometimes we are forced by circumstances beyond our control to engage. God says in scripture that He trains our hands for war. Wish I could remember the Biblical reference. You can be in the army, go to war and yet NOT HATE YOUR ENEMY.
