Just Do Good

Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good. (Romans 12:21, New International Version)

Friday’s blog post was pretty dark and the next one I post will be even darker. But these are the words of the LORD which we must remember. Somehow when we are surrounded by evil, when the world is falling apart, when we don’t understand the sinful nature of wicked people - we need to do the best we can. Be kind and caring, show love to others, live as Jesus did. Don’t let hatred pull us down, instead do good.

Our Scriptures tell us that if you see your enemy hungry, go buy that person lunch, or if he’s thirsty, get him a drink. Your generosity will surprise him with goodness. Don’t let evil get the best of you; get the best of evil by doing good. (Romans 12:21, The Message)
