A Force For Good

It is so easy in today's world to find evil, all we need to do is walk through a busy public area, turn on and watch a news channel, or even through the Internet. And seeing that evil, we naturally want to hide from it any way we can. Cut off access and forget about it, driving it from our minds. It isn't necessarily a bad thing, it probably is a big part of how we stay sane. Believe me, there are days I do nothing but retreat into fiction to escape from the harshness of reality.
But we must not do that too much, as we can not bury our heads in the sand and hope something fixes everything for us. Being Christians as we are, we have a responsibility to spread God's word among those who do not know it. It is so easy to see someone who is lost, especially those doing distasteful things, and want to totally shut them out, too easy. But that is not how God teaches us to act towards the unsaved. Instead, it is our job to prepare them for Jesus. I know most are not going to react well if we condemn them to Hell if they don't accept Jesus then and there. It takes patience and care. Treating them with kindness, lending a helping hand, or just being a friend.
That is love, God's most powerful weapon against Satan. Every day is a fight, and every decision is a battle. Be a force for good and you can not lose, it renders Satan powerless. So I say, be a thorn in his side, and smile. God made us in His image. That smile could go on to introduce a lost soul to Jesus. And that is one less soul serving Satan. The way you interact with others, showing respect and kindness, that will do wonders. It reflects Jesus onto others, and that is our mission in life.
