Evil has a name
Do you know of someone who is truly evil? Someone whom you think is actually capable of causing pain and suffering to the people around without feeling sorry. Someone who exudes a sense of wickedness.
Can't relate to what I'm talking about? Think of your enemies. The ones who annoy and irritate you, and cause you to be the worst person that you can be. The very people you dread to see in school, at work or even in church. These are the people who make you look bad.
Can someone be truly 100% evil? I think not, although it is always a temptation to think otherwise. I mean, what would the world be like if everyone's an angel right? Someone has to play the baddie. But today, I realise and believe that even in the most evil person, there is always a pinch of goodness.
Instead of focusing on the wickedness of our enemies, perhaps it's time we thought about why that person would behave in such a manner.
"Dear Lord, bless my enemies. The very people who cause me to sin. Take away the hurt and hatred within me and give me the strength to love and help them. Amen"
