no matter what is happening in the world, in your life, and no matter what is done to you... love wins.
but it's hard to live that way. and i believe that Jesus knows better than anyone how hard this is.
because Jesus was ridiculed, hated, mocked... and He had a choice of how He would respond to all this. He chose love every time.
He could have picked up a rock and fought back. He could have spit back in their face. but He never once became the evil that was thrown at Him. You never read about Jesus saying "just give me a little time and I'll get even." He never once responds back with what's been done to Him.
and Jesus changed the world.
people who live like this... like love wins... change the world!
because love defeated evil.
& love still beats evil. evil can never beat evil. only love wins.
every time. because love never fails. it can't fail. it is incapable of failing.
somebody has to LOVE to stop the madness. there's an evil cycle and we all contribute to it when we get revenge, fight back, etc... but when we love - love wins & the evil stops. the world changes.
so yes, it's hard. but isn't it worth it to change the world. the only other alternative is the same way everyone else lives. you see where that gets us.
is the world any different because of you?
