Overcoming Evil With Good...

 

"Do not overcome evil with evil,

but overcome evil with good."

This verse from the Bible

is often misunderstood.

 

Many tend to "get back" at something

someone's done to them.

Whether it be from a stranger

or even their friend.

 

You cannot fight evil with evil-

this isn't God's plan!

HIS concept of love and mercy

you need to understand.

 

Remember the words Jesus

said in the beatitudes.

Perhaps this can stop any "revengeful attitudes."

 

You were called to be holy--with a

Godly purpose in mind.

To be filled with his mercy,

being gentle and kind.

 

Rise above whatever evil may

come your way.

Overcome this evil with

God's goodness -today!

 

Allow the cross of Christ to be

lifted up in your life.

Allow his spirit to remove all malice,

bitterness and strife.

 

A compassionate and loving person in you,

others will see!

What you do today-will impact your eternity!

 

An overcomer of evil is

often difficult to do.

Simply obey and trust God-

HE will see you through!
