From "A Tale of Three Kings" by Gene Edwards
"King Saul sought to destroy David, but his only success was that he became the instrument of God to put to death the Saul who roamed about in the caverns of David's own soul. Yes, David was virtually destroyed in the process, but this had to be. Otherwise the Saul in him would have survived."
In the bible when they're talking about Saul and David, David never tried to pick up a spear and throw it back at Saul. Instead, he dogged each one. Its like in the bible when it says if someone "If someone slaps you on the right cheek, offer the other cheek also." (Matthew 5:39). Yes, it's easier sad then done but if we give attitude back or do the same thing, we will never learn and let that part of ourselves fade away. Instead it will continue to be with us and we will continue to have that attitude. God created us to be more then that. He made us to be like Him, not perfect but to be like Him and close to how he was.
