"Vengeance is Mine, I will repay," says the Lord. – Romans 12:19


The world was horrified when Chechen rebels massacred hundreds of people held hostage in a school in Beslan, Russia. Many of the victims were children, including six belonging to the two Totiev brothers, who are active in Christian ministry.

To forgive someone doesn’t mean you give in, that you capitulate in weakness.  But it does mean, in simple terms, that you pull the knife out of your own stomach.  Instead of turning yourself inside out with bitterness, you release the bitterness which has been gnawing at your innards, and you allow the process of healing to begin.
