God distinguishes between those who deserve punishment for doing wrong and those who are suffering unjustly (1 Peter 2:20). When we are being mistreated, when someone is out to harm us, God is taking notice. God is not only merciful, he is just. His justice often does not appear immediately as he is patient to give people time to repent. But his justice is sure and the wrong doer will eventually experience the wrath of God if he or she does not repent (Romans 2:11; 1 Peter 3:9).
Be confident that the sins committed against God will be exposed whether we commit them against others or others commit them against us.
