“Don't be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.”Romans 12:21
Reflexión (en inglés)
When we are wronged, we are tempted to respond in kind — to repay coldness with coldness, harm with harm. Paul shows a better way: overcome evil with good. A deliberate kindness can disarm hostility and break the cycle in a way retaliation never can. This is not weakness but strength under God's control — refusing to let someone else's evil set the terms of our behavior.
Una oración (en inglés)
Lord, when I am wronged, I want to repay in kind — and that only deepens the cycle. Give me the strength to overcome evil with good instead. Show me a concrete, deliberate kindness I could offer the difficult person, not to win or manipulate, but to reflect You. Don't let me be overcome by their behavior; let Your goodness work through me. Amen.
