Good and Evil

Jennifred Jones

I believe good will ultimately overcome in the end. However, in the meantime…

Evil always seeks to overpower good. That’s why it is called evil.

  • It tries to defeat and destroy the good coming out from others.
  • It wants to be in charge/control.
  • It wants to be centerstage.
  • It wants all eyes on it and what it is doing.
  • It uses fears, threats, intimidations towards the innocent who are trying quietly, faithfully to do good.
  • It feels it won’t get any resistance back from them. They will quietly give in to the demands of it – not wanting to ‘disobey’ or cause a ‘scene’.
  • It is a bully – always pushing, shoving, scheming its next action to get its way.
  • It is very sneaky and wants you to do its work.
  • It will make you think you thought it up.
  • It will condemn you when you do it.
  • It will tell you it was your fault.
  • It will tell you-‘you are hopeless’.

Do not listen to its lies. You are stronger than it. Continue doing your good work.

God is for you.

What Are Weeds?

Jennifred Jones

A non-useful plant. Some weeds have attractive flowers, but they’ll take over your landscape if you allow them.

Consider the wild morning glory vine. Pretty, small white or pink flowers shaped like a phonograph bell speaker. If they get a foothold, it can take several seasons to pull them out while they climb and strangle whatever they entwine themselves around. Other weeds have underground root systems – sneakily popping up far away from the original spot. They can be hard to eliminate – think poison ivy vines. Invasive crabgrass will crowd out a bright green lawn as its non-stop-growing stems root anywhere they touch the ground. The bright colored yellow dandelion soon becomes a lollipop of seeds blowing everywhere.

We each need to take stock of what is a profitable flower growing in the landscape of our thoughts, and which are invasive weeds sown in our minds and hearts to bring us down.

Seeds of all kinds fly through the air, by wind, on birds and animals, what we watch and listen to, who we hang around. We have to decide if it is a weed seed growing in our mind or a flower seed of something useful.

When any seed takes root, it’s small and easy to pull before it causes damage. So let’s tend our mental garden often and keep unwanted weeds from getting started.

Be Strong!

Jennifred Jones

Sometimes I wonder if we allow others to overpower us because we are/were weak.

Because we’re too weak to stand up for ourselves to say what we think, to do what we need. Then when things don’t go as we hoped or wanted, we blame others

Do we request laws in an attempt to ‘force’ others to treat us a certain way…not to ‘talk to us this way’ …when we didn’t need another law; we only need to take responsibility and talk it out?

Why are we so afraid of human interaction? Why are we so fearful of conflict and being disliked?

Let’s choose to be strong, not giving our personal power over to another, but facing ourselves, facing others and learning to be the authority of our own life.
