Chapter 13:

All American Girl vs Injustice

Chapter 13:

 I had to take a mental health break. I am heartbroken that we are no farther today than before.  We are not learning from our mistakes and continue to hurt each other.  I keep seeing “Christians” posting about revenge, calling others names because they disagree with them, and condoning the systemic racism of this country.  I just had to step away. 

 While I was resting, so to speak, a Bible verse came to me over and over, so I think it meant that I share this.  I’m not going to explain it or analyze it for you, as I think if you read it closely, I think you will get it.  Bottom line—we have to love each other, even our enemies, in order to overcome evil.

 

Romans 12: 9-21 Marks of the True Christian

Let love be genuine; hate what is evil, hold fast to what is good; love one another with brotherly affection; outdo one another in showing honor. Never flag in zeal, be aglow with the Spirit, serve the Lord. Rejoice in your hope; be patient in tribulation, be constant in prayer, contribute to the needs of the saints, practice hospitality.

 

Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse them. Rejoice with those who rejoice, weep with those who weep. Live in harmony with one another; do not be haughty but associate with the lowly; never be conceited. Repay no one evil for evil, but take thought for what is noble in the sight of all. If possible, so far as it depends upon you, lie peaceably with all. Beloved, never avenge yourselves, but leave it to the wrath of God; for it is written, “Vengeance is mine, I will repay, says the Lord.” No, “if your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him drink; for by so doing you will heap burning coals upon his head.” Do not be overcome evil with good.

 That’s it today.  Oh . . . Breona Taylor’s murder is no longer trending and her murders have not been apprehended.  #justiceforBreona  Also—one of George Floyd’s murderers was just charged with tax evasion.  Irony?  He was stopping George Floyd for an alleged counterfit 20, but he himself is not paying taxes? Perfect example of the passage above . . . “Vengeance is mine, I will repay, says the Lord.” #justiceforGeorge
