There is no joy in strife when you're seeking love. You can feel love within you, like a tiny flame about to go out, and you put your hands around it, to help it grow.It sounds like a change of attitude could help with that, to crush that serpent under your heel. God did not place in us a spirit of timidity, but of power and love, and a sound mind. Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.
We are a Royal Priesthood, sanctified in Messiah, shining as lights amidst a crooked and perverse generation. Who would pluck a fig from a thorn bush? Men are recognised by their fruits. Therefore be holy as God is holy.
I have no wrath. Should someone give Me briars and thorns in battle, then I would step on them. I would burn them completely. - Isaiah 27:4
Therefore, this is what the LORD says: If you return, I will restore you; you will stand in My presence. And if you speak noble words, rather than worthless ones, you will be My spokesman. It is they who must turn to you; you must not turn to them. - Jeremiah 15:19
What about the gospel of peace? How do we put on the armored shoes of peace?
