Psalm 40:2–3
“All destruction comes from thinking about others as different than you. To be cruel to someone, you cannot think of them as yourself. So, we make them a stranger in our eyes. As if we don’t all have the same blood in our veins, as if we don’t breathe the same air. No one can be cruel unless they really view someone as different but that rips the world apart. We
cannot be different. We are all part of the same God. We are never alone.”
“Think of it as the greatest gift of all. You don’t wait to see what kind of life you lived or what kind of person you became, you choose for yourself no matter what you are going through. You don’t wait for life to happen to you, you happen to life. With every move you make you can choose to make it what you want, what you believe in, even if it is the harder choice.”

“Life He requested of you And you gave it to him Length of days Forever and ever.” Psalm 21:4
Above all, I am grateful to God for letting us live this beautiful life, because while there is hardship, pain, and sadness, there is also beauty, happiness, and love. We cannot always prevent the bad, but we also cannot let it overshadow the good.
Evil does not only happen when a person is abnormally bad. Evil happens when good people do not see the good in other people. Evil happens when we judge each other. Evil happens when we put ourselves higher than others. Evil happens when we stand by someone else’s evil and do not speak up.
