Choosing


Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good

Romans 12:21
New International Version

Today
In the plain everyday nothing remarkable ordinary day of

Returning something at the store
Checking on an overdue order
Confusion over the date of a program
Driving

I choose

Will I 

Be

Overcome by evil

(and heave and sigh and roll my eyes and demand my way and demonstrate my selfish 
self interested disgust in a thousand tiny ways)

Or

Will I 

Overcome evil

With

Love
Joy
Peace
Patience
Kindness
Goodness
Faithfulness
Gentleness
Self-control

Every day
(in a thousand tiny ways)

We choose
(for better or for worse) 

We choose 
For me 

We choose
For you
