Freedom

 

Romans 12:14-21


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 wise in your own sight. Repay no one evil for evil, but give thought to do what is honorable in the sight of all. If possible, so far as it depends on you, live 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.” To the contrary, “if your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him something to drink; for by so doing you will heap burning coals on his head.” Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

      Well, we can only choose for ourselves, not others.

    Can't do it on our own, but with God's help it is something to strive for.

    Amen to these scriptures. The Holy Spirit speaks to us in all situations to bring us to know God's ways and thoughts.

    Its only by Grace that we can do this. This is so hard to do in our own strength.

    With God's help only can we ever achieve any of those things because our strength would fail us. It's the beauty of the Holy Spirit's working in our life.

    It's very difficult to congratulate anyone who persecuted me. But I know that it's not good for my heart to keep it on the roots forever.

    So contrary to what our fleshly instincts would say.
