Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.
Romans 12:21

 

Have you ever lived through an injustice that feels so bad—so hopeless that you’d like to die?
You desperately look for a way out—a way to fight back—a way to overthrow—to overcome.

“Oh God!” you cry. “There has to be an answer!”

But God shows you that your own tragedy is only one of many. Why only focus on the one?

Why not shelf it for now? Why not look at the lives of others.
Surely, some of their battles could use a helping hand.
Surely we could help some of them overcome their distress.

Our battle is not the only one.
