The events of the London terror attack is another reminder of what hate can do. So many thoughts and emotions ran through my head as a watched the events unfold on the news. I felt so sad for the innocent people, going about their daily lives who were killed or were badly injured that day. There is so much news of terror in the world but this one was so close. I couldn’t help but remember how many times I have been in that area, in fact just a few weeks earlier I was on that bridge with my kids. Lord I prayed, ‘why would you let such happen’, but that's the reality of today's world.We live in difficult trying times, times when the heart of men are seeking how to hurt or cause pain and destroy.
In times like this, we must let our light outshine the darkness all around. We need to show love to a hurting world. We must not let the evil acts of others define who we are, or how we react to situations. We must hold on to the biblical truths of loving God and others. We should show kindness without any fear and always remember that a life of love has more benefits than one of hatred.
In the midst of all the crisis in the world Jesus says in John 16:33 “I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world, you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world”.
