Just Do Good

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

Friday’sblog post was pretty dark and the next one I post will be even darker. Butthese are the words of the LORD which we must remember. Somehow when we aresurrounded by evil, when the world is falling apart, when we don’t understandthe sinful nature of wicked people - we need to do the best we can. Be kind andcaring, 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 seeyour enemy hungry, go buy that person lunch, or if he’s thirsty, get him adrink. Your generosity will surprise him with goodness. Don’t let evil get thebest of you; get the best of evil by doing good. (Romans 12:21, The Message)
