Good and Evil

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.

It’s a Contest!

Who will you let win?

We really can control the outcome!

We don’t have to allow another’s bad choice to to cause us to make bad choices.

We are only responsible for ours. Let them be responsible for theirs.

They hate, we maintain love.

They control, we keep our peace.

They yell, we keep a calm voice.

They destroy, we build up.

They pull back, we lean in.

They accuse, we bless.

They speak lies, we speak truth.

They divide, we multiply.

… and really, these voices are not just those of others; we hear them shouting in our own heads. Are we going to let them in….let them win?

Steer yourself the direction you want to go.

Stay on the path.
