Never let evil get the best of you;
instead, overpower evil with the good.

- Ashley’s WRITING (from pages 160, 162 -163):
“If God is on our side, then tell me: whom should we fear (Romans 8:31).
“When we’re in Christ, we’ve died to our own sin and walk in newness of life. We’re new creations. We have been freed from sin. That means we can be free from other people’s sin against us. “
“The reason we aren’t supposed to see revenge is because we are supposed to let God do that.”
- See God’s Word at WORK in your world (this week’s challenge): On p. 161, Ashley says if you think, “Someone should pay for this,” remember Jesus did—He paid with His life. [tweetthis]If you think, “Someone should pay for this,” remember Jesus did—He paid with His life. [/tweetthis]

This was good for me. I was feeling hurt this week, that family does not seem to make an effort for relationship with me. I am always extending the invitation, the olive branch etc.
I loved what you said, that “we are free, not only from our sin, but from what other’s have done TO us” I need to live in that light. Extend peace, bring the olive branch.. As Far As It Goes With Me.. I will seek to live at peace with all..
Well, Ashley said it first! 😉 But it hit me like a ton of bricks too. I think it will be one of the big take-homes for me from this study!
