I have been tolerating a group of girls who bullied me for the past nearly 3 years. I cannot stand them any longer and i feel like taking revenge. But as you know, the Bible discourages it but what if i just want to carry out this one revenge? Will you think God will still love me?

It sounds like these girls are very sad people all the way around. Maybe they see something in you that they do not understand and that they know that they do not have. So they make fun and ridicule what they do not understand. We see this attitude a lot in this forum too. If you stoop to their level than you make yourself no better than they are. If their treatment of you is harmful to you in any way than maybe you should talk to someone in authority. But remember that forgiveness is just as much for you as it is for other people. Do not let bitterness and anger take over. Hang in there and be true to yourself.

Being meek does not mean being weak. Moses killed an Egyptian when he saw him beating a Jew. God helped the Jews to conquer many nations; driving them out of the land that God swore to give to them. God is also a God of justice and judgment. I would pray really hard and ask God what he would have me do and then wait quietly for him to answer. Wait on the LORD before going off into battle; make sure God will be with you in the battle. If God is not with you then you will not win.

Believe me when I say that God takes revenge better than you ever could. Instead of focusing on their bullying.. Remember what Paul said.. "endure hardship like a good soldier" Also pray for your enemies. Ask God to bless them so that they will be wrapped up in blessings and thus not have time to bully you.
Even Jesus had bullies. Yet he never asked God to send legions of Angels to take anybody out because He loves us. Try following His example.
Hope this helps and yes, I too was bullied.

Is the guilt feeling of carrying out the revenge really worth it? Of course God would forgive you, but it would make him very unhappy to see you lower yourself , your standards, to do such a thing. Let God handle the situation. Just pray and keep your faith, that God is always at work. He sees what is going on.I don't know to what extent you are being bullied, maybe you need to talk to someone about this problem. Don't lower yourself honey, that would only bring them pleasure. God Bless you.

Every action we do here leads us on one path or the other.
Back to father choose love/fellowship/sharing/joy or dominion/lordship over others/judging. At the time of judgement our actions/thoughts are weighed. We are here to make a choice as to which path we wish to follow. I recently saw a bumber sticker: How much can I get away with ........and still go to heaven. Choose love all that you can.

The Bible does not discourage it, it commands you, "Never take your own revenge, but leave room for the wrath of God." Obey God and let Him look after it.
Romans 12:19 Never take your own revenge, beloved, but leave room for the wrath of God, for it is written, "VENGEANCE IS MINE, I WILL REPAY," says the Lord.

Whatever action you take for revenge, they win because they made you care that much. Turn your back and ignore them, stop caring about them, and you win.

Hate and anger will hurt yourself more than them.
Just ignore that group of Girls and find other friends.
Peace and God Bless you!

Hopefully, as long as there is no bloodshed or any bruising...... God will be there saying "You Go Girl!!" cause obviously he is not there helping you. I'm sure he will still love you, dont forget he is full of forgiveness.
