"TIT FOR TAT" is the idiom that came to mind. I wanted to repay in kind.
I had to appropriate restraint--not in words spoken but in nasty, impure thoughts.
Timely Scotty wrote, which I did not read until I returned home from the gym, "Jesus doesn't repay in kind but in kindness."
CONVICTION!
Forgiveness needed. I asked the Lord to forgive my own snarky thoughts.
I'm not sure what the next step will be but I hope it's wrapped in kindness!
