Written after the Paris Terrorist Attacks:
Beauty from Ashes. Remember this when you see what's going on in the world. Our God is greater and more wonderful than anything that Evil can wreak (remember it doesn't "create." Only Goodness is creative). When you see the pain and destruction... think of the cross.... There is nothing worse than the death of our Creator, who is LIFE. And there is nothing more wonderful than what happened next.
We mourn. We stand with those who are suffering. And we continue to show the light of Christ. It's our greatest "weapon." Let countries and leaders do what they must. But as individuals, we have one commandment. To love.
There's no need to get caught up in hatred. Recognize that it exists, and move forward. Will we use a sword to slash off the ear of someone attacking our Truth? Or will we touch the ear and heal it and then forgive the sword-bearer? Love isn't easy. But it is required.
