Thank you for this, James! Perhaps God said ‘Vengeance is mine’ to lift the burden off of humanity and so our hearts won’t turn to stone. It also doesn’t mean to dismiss wrongdoing, as another commenter mentioned. Life is a delicate balance, indeed. Keep writing, James. You have a lot to say, that many need to hear. Me included! 👋

Turning the other cheek isn't meant literally, how could it be when Jesus also advised us to buy a weapon of self defense? It's exactly what your post is bringing up, don't react emotionally so you will not want to take vengeance, but can even turn the other cheek, as an extreme example.

The Roy Masters Be still exercise on YouTube works marvelous to obtain that state.
