Villians

We are all the heroes of our own stories. All heroes have villains.  I used to cast different people in the role of villains.  My parents, my dad specifically got cast in the role of the villain.  I have teachers that I have cast in the role.  Ex-boyfriends were especially my favorite people blame irrationally.  Nowadays, I understand that I am not a hero in my own story.  We are all people with baggage.  We are our own heroes and our own villains.

I'm watching this show and there is an actor that I have loved in other shows but right now, in the character that is on the show, I hate him.  I loathe him!!!  I can't bare him at all  He's a great bad guy.  I have no sympathy for him and there is no understanding for why he is the way that he is.  I enjoy not liking him.  I think it is important to identify villains. 

I Peter 5:8-11:
"Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour.  Resist him, steadfast in the faith, knowing that the same sufferings are experienced by your brotherhood in the world.  But may the God of all grace, who called us to His eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after you have suffered a while, perfect, establish, strengthen, and settle you.  To Him be the glory and the dominion forever and ever.  Amen"

Let us not forget, Friends, that we have an enemy.  There is a true villain in our stories.  This villain is the devil.  Whatever we are going through, let's not keep it quiet.  Let's not let shame keep us quiet.  Our stories help encourage others when we find out we aren't the only ones going through stuff.  This is part of the reason why I write.  To show that God is working through me and my hot messness.  I think He could work through and to you too.  Give it a shot.  God is not the villain of us. 









Be [c]sober, be [d]vigilant; [e]because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour. Resist him, steadfast in the faith, knowing that the same sufferings are experienced by your brotherhood in the world. 10 But [f]may the God of all grace, who called [g]us to His eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after you have suffered a while, [h]perfect, establish, strengthen, and settle you. 11 To Him be the glory and the dominion forever and ever. Amen.
