How We Respond
Today I want to share a verse with you that I feel speaks for itself.
In fact, it says so much about the world and times we live in that I couldn't possibly cover it all in a meager blog post.
So, I won't. I will simply let it speak for itself and let the Spirit tell you what you need to hear.
Bless your persecutors – bless and never curse. Rejoice with those who are rejoicing, and weep with those who are weeping. Let the same spirit of sympathy animate you all, not a spirit of pride; enjoy the company of ordinary people. Do not think too highly of yourselves. Never return injury for injury. Aim at doing what everyone will recognize as honorable. If it is possible, as far as rests with you, live peaceably with everyone. Never avenge yourselves, dear friends, but make way for the wrath of God; for scripture declares – ‘“It is for me to avenge, I will requite,” says the Lord.’ Rather – ‘If your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him to drink. By doing this you will heap coals of fire on his head.’ Never be conquered by evil, but conquer evil with good.
Romans 12:14-21
You are Love.
