"Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!"
-Isaiah 5:20
That scripture has been ringing in ears as of late. I see it all around me. People calling evil good and good evil. At the end of my life on this earth, I want to be found on God's side. God's side is good, light, and sweet, yet many people (the majority it seems at times) would have me believe otherwise. I try to always be kind (though I do not always succeed), but I must also try always to be good, and those two virtues are not exactly the same thing. Does standing up for what I believe to be good and right make me unkind to those who would call evil good? I don't know. It's a hard balance for me to strike. Jesus Christ was always perfectly kind, even to those who fought against Him, but He also always stood up for all things good. I wish I could emulate Him perfectly. So far, I am failing. But I am also always trying.
