he does not forget the cry of the afflicted.
Psalm 9:12
Christ knows our wounds intimately. He knows them so well as He paid the price that would redeem and heal them. God heals the brokenhearted and he binds up their wounds (Ps 147:3). Any grievance against you has/will be paid one of two ways: either Christ has already taken the penalty for them on the cross or the one who does not repent that Christ is Lord will pay in eternity. Either way, someone will pay and the price will be far more grievous than anything that has ever been brought against you. Therefore:
Repay no one evil for evil, but give thought to do what is honorable in the sight of all. If possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all. Beloved, never avenge yourselves, but leave it to the wrath of God, for it is written,
"Vengeance is mine, I will repay, says the Lord." To the contrary,
"If your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him something to drink;
for by so doing you will heap burning coals on his head."
Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.
Romans12:17-21
