What is evil?

Credit for evil

Have you ever noticed how much credit we give to evil? If something bad happens we say that Satan is attacking us or that some evil (in people or in the world) is coming against us. Is that true? I’m a fairly charismatic mystical spiritual follower of Jesus and yet I do not think every action and reaction of mine is good or evil. I mean in the space between God and Satan is me. And the me that I am has motives for doing stuff. I can be stupid, mean, immature and yes evil. So should there be space in this life to live and call some of the stuff that happens to us “the land of immaturity of others”? Or are those who disagree with me under the influence of the evil one. O – I guess we all are under the influence of the evil one. But is there any wiggle room (freedom) under that influence? Is there any authority and domain of person?
If there is space for personal immaturity and failings then I do not need to attack you every time we come into conflict. I can live my life more to love you and help you than to fix you and overcome you. Did you hear that? I can live my life more to love you and help you than to fix you and overcome you. Don’t you just love the way you act when you are drive to fix others. I mean, how many of the ills of life would go on to destroy the world if we did not undertake the duty of fixing all those who differ from us ( I mean differ from God). Often I have found the only injustice that I tolerate is that which is found in my own heart. ( An observation I have made over and over again is that a little deed of darkness was testified to be the work of Satan hindering the daily activity of one of His Saints while some true act of love and kindness is not even recognized. It is as tough we live to promote evil and neglect good)
Community is one of the six things we need in Christ Jesus so that we live our life well. Community is built on family. It is built first on the family of God and then natural family. God made His family first. If you want to live a better life, give fixing those in your community a rest and simply try to live in family.
WARNING!!!!!
If you study the role of family in biblical history you may want more not to be a part then to be a part. But we all must remember that the goodness of the path we take is determined by the destination and not they ease of walk.
PS: Even God disciplines those He loves.
