God's Vindication
When God says I will vindicate you.
It doesn't mean vengeance will come true.
Sometimes vindication means working through pain
And forgiving the others who stay the same.
Vengeance is mine, says God on high.
Which means He calls the shots on the how and the why.
You need not know what He is going to do
Just rest and let God vindicate you.
When God promises vindication.
It means He will intervene in the situation.
But just as He works on you he is working on them.
His way will always work out in the end.
What we forget is that God's vengeance,
Is sprinkled with grace and forgiveness.
His plan is to restore all men,
And create a new person within.
So when God says “I'll vindicate,” remember:
His ways are best, His love the center.
His vindication works both ways.
And He is worthy of thanks and given all praise.

17 Do not repay anyone evil for evil. Be careful to do what is right in the eyes of everyone. 18 If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone. 19 Do not take revenge, my dear friends, but leave room for God’s wrath, for it is written: “It is mine to avenge; I will repay,”[d] says the Lord. 20 On the contrary:
“If your enemy is hungry, feed him;
if he is thirsty, give him something to drink.
In doing this, you will heap burning coals on his head.”[e]
21 Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.
Romans 12:17-21
