The good in evil

"While I was with them, I protected them and kept them safe by that name you gave me. None has been lost except the one doomed to destruction so that Scripture would be fulfilled. " NIV John 17:12

Why was Cain's seed saved
in the blood of Noah's wife
through the flood?

Why was Judas' soul lost
as prophesied in Scripture
when he betrayed Christ?

Must evil always remain
with man, in man, to test man
driving man to seek purity?

Is that why an Angel is named Satan?

To bring good from evil?

The good in evil.

Dear Newell,
You don't mind posing the hard questions, do you? I don't know the answer, but I know you asked it very well. Good poem.

(sigh) This is sindeed a very difficult question to respond you, dearest friend, I believe there is good in everyone definitely, and some of us are either tormented by so much evil from others or we do not learn from compassion enough in life to where one can have evil in them that they afflict to others, and if they alone can only have the heart to forgive those they were hurt by and learn from their mistakes, the good in evil can overwhelm the pain and bring good into the blood! (sigh) This is powerful, sweet friend, just my ramble on this, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Newell, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

Newell, I love this so much. Because I always see good in people no matter how they are, the most evil I have known I have always seen good in them. My father was one. My sister just hated him and questioned me always as to how I could love him. It was easy. I saw the good part. Love this, floria

Ok, Newell, my good friend, "how can there be any sin in sincere?"

Fool, said my Muse to me, look in thy heart and write.

Thank you, floria. I believe that God only makes good. Man chooses to make evil. And as God is still loving man, God helps us to  deal our consequences of man's bad choices. God turns man's own evil around to show us how we again can be pure. And to help us build up our resistance to evil Satan tests us with temptation. To make us stronger.
