The Evil Within & The Evil Without
Overcoming it all
Mans inhumanity to man is on full display. If only the words of Jesus Himself would be taken to heart and acted upon, from the time He said them until infinity, life would be amazing.
“But I say to you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you in order that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven; for He causes His sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous.” Matthew 6:44-46 NAS from The Sermon on The Mount
If we followed this admonishment, there would be nothing the enemy could ever use to cause division and hate.
I get my information about Israel from Amir Tsarfati…Behold Israel. He has a Telegram channel where emoji reactions are allowed but comments are not. I see the emoji reactions and my mind is blown. If evil can be in an emoji, then it is there. So sickening….I don’t care what group you fall under, this is evil incarnate. I suppose there will always be this evil until God makes good on His promise and vanquishes it forever.
But, it seems that humans, are taking the word of God as, not The Word, but more like ‘guidelines’ really. “Maybe we can make it work, maybe we can’t. It will be what it will be and it will all work out in the end.” But, in the meantime, we struggle on within our little bubbles of life. “And…really, those people deserve our contempt and hate!! They really do! So it’s okay!”
Trust me, none of us are perfect and it is really difficult to look around and see the damage and not be pissed off. It is hard to not be righteously indignant, full of judgement and hate. I feel that way all the time. I find myself putting people into categories and either pursuing a friendship or not, based upon MY standards. That is very wrong, is it not? But I cannot handle, within myself, those whose beliefs differ from mine. I am not good at confrontation or change. Loving everyone would be impossible for me. But, as in everything in this life, I am not alone. There is a bigger power I am supposed to call upon to become all I was created to be.
The only redemption is from the Lord Himself.
I have said since the Coofscare began that my eyes will be on Israel. I believe this may be the beginning of Sorrows. Matthew 24: 8-13
I know that I am finite. I cannot know it all. I cannot know the why, how and what-for in everything that is going on in the world.
The ONE THING I am absolutely sure of is that I belong to the Lord and He is my redeemer and my peace. The word of God has stood the test of time and as I don’t know who or what to believe, I will always believe the Word of God and rest assured in my salvation.
