The only thing necessary for the
triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.” -Edmund Burke
It was 8 AM on a Sunday morning when I went for a jog. Twenty minutes in I hear
barking, so I looked behind me to find two pit bulls on my tail. Startled, my mind raced for a get-away
strategy. The pits could smell my
fear. I thought about kicking them
and running for my life. Instead I
bent down and made kissy noises. The pits decided to be friendly and let me pet them. If someone has been after you with a hateful attitude,
feeding off of your fears and insecurities, decide to be the stronger one and
show them love and kindness. They
just may change over time.
Don't
let evil conquer you, but conquer evil by doing good
(Romans 12:1, NLT).
