GIVING IN TO EVIL: Surrender Series Part 7

The essence of God is love. Jesus gave it a name; he called it forgiveness. It is a power infused into humans to give in to what is true and what is real. The truth is that everything, including evil, that happens to us is for us, for our growth and evolution into a higher state of consciousness. Jesus came into the world not to remove evil, but to take away its power to destroy us. God allows evil because when it is seen for what it is, it becomes a powerful catalyst for change. When one sees the pain and suffering evil causes, when one sees how destructive it is, our hearts are moved to action. Evil's greatest strength is that it exists just below the surface; it goes unnoticed and acceptable without revealing its power to infect us with the disease of division and separation. Forgiveness creates oneness and wholeness and is key to surrendering to a plan that we may never fully understand.
