The GOD form my eyes is God of Justice
From the book Daily Devotions from Psalm: by Joyce Meyer devotional
Joyce Meyer Devotional: Daily devotional
One of my favorite characteristics of God is that He is a God of justice. This means that He makes wrong things right if we put our trust in Him. We waste too much time worrying about and being upset by the wicked. We should pray for them, because if they don’t repent of their wrong behavior and change their ways, they will be ensnared by the work of their own hands.
When Jesus was on the cross paying for our sins and suffering more than we can imagine, He asked His Father to forgive those who treated Him unjustly. He said, “Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing” (Luke 23:34). Jesus sets an example for us to follow regarding how to deal with people who hurt us. When we forgive, we do ourselves—not our enemies—a favor. We set ourselves free from any anger or bitterness and release them to God, who is the only One who can successfully deal with them. (Joyce Meyer Daily Devotional)
If someone has hurt you, don’t let them continue hurting you day after day by harboring ill feelings toward them. Let go and let God show Himself strong in your life. Hurting people hurt people, and remembering this often makes it easier to forgive them. God is not only a God of justice, but He is also merciful. Let us follow His example and enjoy the peace that only He can give.
Prayer of the Day: Father, grant me the grace to forgive anyone who has hurt me or treated me unjustly. I want to be merciful, as You are.

Charles Stanley: No Fear in Love
The perfect love of God compels us to courageously love others.
If you’ve ever enlisted in the military, joined a rescue team, or even given birth to a baby, you know people don’t take on dangerous tasks because they falsely believe the mission is safe. No, we agree to face potential peril because someone or something we love dearly is worth taking any risk.
This can help us understand why God so often tells His followers not to be afraid and then gives encouragement to boldly move forward in obedience, courage, and trust. While fear may spur us to action, love is a more powerful motivator. We will do out of love what we would never do out of fear.
So divine love compels us. God—who created this world, who took on flesh to walk among us and redeem us, who died to save us—has given us perfect love. And we demonstrate this love from God by loving each other. Even when we are afraid.
What a mission God has given us—to both receive His perfect love and demonstrate it to each other. In the process of carrying out that mission, we will find that where love abounds, there’s no room left for our fears.
None of these people were safe, and most of them never would be. Yet God said, “Do not be afraid.” He says this to us today, too, amid our own grief. Though the suffering may not pass, God’s love and faithful presence will never leave our side.
