We are born perfect. It is the actions we make after birth that chips away at that perfection. We are tempted at every turn to react. It is our reactions that dictate each action after that and after that. We live in a world that says, An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth. But is that really how we are born? Are we supposed to be in a role of equalizer? There is a world view and the biblical view to life? Romans 12:10-21 Love one another with brotherly affection. Outdo one another in showing honor. Do not be slothful in zeal, be fervent in spirit, serve the Lord. Rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation, be constant in prayer. Contribute to the needs of the saints and seek to show hospitality. Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse them.
I have an idea. Since we were born perfect, let's choose the birth view versus the world view in life. What that means for us is before we act or react to negative forces, challenges or friction in our lives, let's go back in time and act from a place of perfection. The way we were born. A time before the world taught us to act in ways unbecoming of a lady. Through this prism of striving for perfect acts and perfect reactions we may become a beacon of light for the world around us.
Romans 12:17-19 Repay no one evil for evil, but give thought to do what is honorable in the sight of all. If possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all. Beloved, never avenge yourselves, but leave it to the wrath of God, for it is written, “Vengeance is mine, I will repay, says the Lord.”
