Today, as we watch the news of the Boston Marathon explosion unfold...
There is so much truth in this message.
There will always be evil. There will always be nay-sayers. There will always be hate amongst us.
But---look for the helpers. Look for the workers.
They don't have time to complain, or speak evil, or do evil. They are busy loving on people and meeting the need of someone.
Right now, in this situation there are runners that finished the marathon, and ran,literally, to give their own blood.
Always....in every issue-at-hand....
Look for the helper, and there my friend, will you find the love of Jesus, and the good in the world.
After the dust of this settles, and life returns to a new normal....lots of lives will be better off because of the helpers.
The evil of one or two, cannot survive amongst the good in the world, if we rally for the good. And quinch the spirit of the evil. It will always exist, but it doesn't have to win.
He tells us in His word to "count it all joy".
Thank you Mr. Rogers. I guess I needed a friendly neighbor today :)
