Businesswoman and television personality Rosie Rivera shares how to lean on God as defender in the midst of life's hurts and wounds while also grappling with the strong desire for justice and retaliation.Revenge is one of our deepest instincts. When we have been hurt or when something has been stolen from us, whether that be our innocence or our good name or a loved one, the desire to retaliate is irresistible.
