You fight evil, by doing good.
We all wonder what we can do right now to fight the evil and injustice we’ve witnessed in the news and in our city of Minneapolis. If you are like me, you feel inadequate and helpless. But scripture tell us we can all take action with the Gospel message and that is to be like Christ. And He wouldn’t just be posting to social media, I imagine he would be in his neighborhood loving on people. All people.
Go out and be the good. Be the difference. Look up from your phone and make eye contact with people. Say hello, open doors, spark conversations, don’t get defensive but have the goal to understand. See the uniqueness of each individual but know we are all united in Christ. Buy a fry, coffee or pack of gum for those behind you in line. Send a note, snail mail, anything. And if you feel these actions are too small, you are wrong. One act of kindness sparks another.
While racism comes to mind today, diversity comes in all forms. Reach out to someone who is different than you. See their uniqueness, differences and tell them they are honored and beautiful and an image of our King. #bethegood #fighttheevil
