Maybe you have been told that you deserve what you get! This is mostly taken in a negative context; if we do bad things then we deserve it when bad things happen to us. Someone taking revenge on us because we made a mistake is something we don't deserve. If we have followed God's plan and taken all steps to rectify our mistake then we deserve respect, compassion, and most of all, Grace.
The problem is we can't really expect to receive it because most people have never received it either. The world has it's own mold of justice and it is a mirror opposite of what God offers through Jesus Christ. The Bible says we are forgiven through Christ giving His life for us. So that means revenge is someone elses sickness, not ours. They give us revenge, but we can give Grace. (if we choose to)
