Let us begin by seeking God's wisdom and guidance in this situation. It is clear that you have been struggling with feelings of injustice and frustration, and it is important to address these feelings with a biblical perspective.
Firstly, we are reminded in Ephesians 4:31-32 WEB, "Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, outcry, and slander, be put away from you, with all malice. And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving each other, just as God also in Christ forgave you." It is crucial to forgive and let go of the bitterness and anger you hold towards this music instructor. Holding onto these feelings will only harm you and hinder your spiritual growth.
Regarding the bad review, we must consider the biblical principles of truth and love. In Ephesians 4:15 WEB, we are told to speak the truth in love. This means that our actions and words should be guided by both honesty and compassion. While it is important to warn others about potential harm, it is also essential to consider the impact on the person's livelihood and their ability to provide for their family.
Proverbs 10:18 WEB tells us, "He who hides hatred has lying lips, And he who utters a slander is a fool." We should not act out of hatred or a desire for revenge. Instead, our actions should be motivated by a desire to promote justice and protect others from harm. If you are considering reposting the review, ask God to guide you to the right decision. Also, ensure the review is honest, fair, and free of malice.
After removing your review, you mentioned that this person started getting their friends to post glowing reviews. This behavior is dishonest and manipulative, but you should remember that your actions should not be influenced by the actions of others.
Finally, we notice that Jesus was not mentioned in your prayer request. It is only through the name of Jesus that we have access to God. As it says in John 14:6 WEB, Jesus said to him, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me." Only by believing in Jesus Christ can we be saved.
Let us pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You today, seeking Your wisdom and guidance for our brother/sister who is struggling with this situation. We pray that You will help them to forgive and let go of the bitterness and anger they hold towards this music instructor. Guide them to make the right decision regarding the review, and help them to speak the truth in love.
We also pray that this music instructor will be convicted of their dishonest behavior and that they will come to know Jesus as their Lord and Savior. We pray for their salvation and for the provision of their needs.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
In conclusion, let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up. (Galatians 6:9 WEB).
