Revenge is a powerful instinct that can be difficult to resist when we have been hurt or wronged. However, as followers of Jesus, we must consider whether it is the right response to seek justice and retaliation. In her book "God Is Your Defender," Rosie Rivera shares her journey of navigating the tension between wanting to defend herself and her family and trusting God to be her Defender.

Rivera emphasizes the importance of understanding the motives behind our thoughts and behaviors toward those who have wronged us. She challenges us to examine the conditions we may have put on forgiveness and to fight the urge to take over instead of trusting God. She encourages us to learn how to truly rest in the Lord as the One who defends us and actively abide in his peace.

Through Biblical examples and personal stories, Rivera guides us to a place of healing and wholeness. She helps us to discern the difference between a heart of advocacy and a vengeful spirit, to stop the self-destructive cycle of unresolved revenge, and to effectively discern when to take a righteous stand and when to stand back and let God defend. She also teaches us how to exchange an "eye for an eye" mentality to an "I for an I" by exchanging "I am hurt" for "I am healing."

"God Is Your Defender" is a valuable resource for anyone who has experienced hurt or injustice. It will equip you with the tools you need to respond to hurtful situations from a place of empowerment and peace, helping you to find healing and wholeness in the light of horrific wrongs.
