TOPIC: OVERCOME EVIL WITH GOOD
TEXT: ROMANS 12:19-21
Key Verse: "Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good" (Romans 12:21).
"She first did it to me; I only did my own back", said Julie crying. This is the statement kids often make in order to explain why they retaliate.
Others may hurt you, abuse, tell lies against you, scold, mock, snob or even assault you, they may even take away that which is yours or deny you your rights.
What should be your reaction? Pay back evil for evil or forgive? Love and continue to love them? If it is the case of a bully, report him to your teacher or your parents.
Do not allow the evil doers to change your identity to become like them. The command of God is "...overcome evil with good".
Jesus warns all His friends never to repay evil with evil; but to do good to those who hate them. Never do your own back, always do good to all. The Lord will grant you the grace to remain steadfast in doing good.
Prayer: O Lord, give me grace to always forgive and overcome evil with good.
