“For such is the will of God, that by doing right (good) you silence the ignorance of foolish people.”
I Peter 2:15
When people try to silence you or your neighbor, do what is right. Do Good!
When people try to take away the rights of others, stand up, speak out, and advocate for them with your voice. Do what is right. Do Good!
When people try to tell you that you are not good enough, stand up and know you are enough. You have power. You are great. You are excellent. You are made in his image with the mind of Christ. Do Good!
When people try to change or eliminate your history to make them feel superior (supremacy) or less guilty, stand up for truth and learn from history and grow from it. “History is not the past, it is the present.”(James Baldwin). Be honest. Do Good!
“If you can keep your head when all about you are losing theirs and blaming it on you;
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you, but make allowance for their doubting too…” (IF, Rudyard Kipling, verse 1)(partial)
