Refusing to give up doesn’t mean bad attitude, brandishing insults, warring with weapons, or destroying each other. These are fear responses.
Refusing to give up is standing firm in what you believe, in faith that the good of the whole will prevail. It is a stance that infuriates evil because if evil cannot dominate you while appearing to care, evil wants to fight, destroy, and demean you.
Refuse to fight and strengthen your belief, your faith in the Word of Holy. Refuse to give in to the chaos of the world by not getting caught up in the banter that evil thrives upon. Refuse to respond in fear and seek to allow your Hope in the unseen grow by recounting your own miracles in your mind daily. Refuse to give in to the uncertainties in your life by Praying through everything, everyday, all day long. Tell you stories of the miracles in your life to give others Hope. Divine is in control of the universe. Remind yourself as many times as you need to everyday. Then go about your daily life and enjoy what time you have left within the beauty of this earth.
Refusing to give up is sometimes simply sitting together with friends.
Embrace the path of the man, Jesus; calm in the face of adversity, peaceful in the face of criticism, and methodically kind in the face of cruelty. They were determined to kill him no matter how he responded and take away His teachings so the temple could still be business as usual and the leaders could go on taking people’s money. He still won, even in death, and He never lifted a weapon, never shouted obscenities, nor developed a bad attitude. Jesus knew deep in His Spirit things not of this world. Holy Spirit teaches us now. Ask for Holy Spirit’s help, now!
What are you embracing in today’s world; Fear or HOPE?
