Evil isn't going to go away. There is not going to be a day on this earth where people stop doing terrible things. Its not going to happen. You can dream all you want of a day with only peace and love and no hate and no crime, but its not going to happen.
Evil is always going to seem like it is getting away with its deeds too. Its always going to seem like evil is prospering and winning while good suffers with nothing. Its not going to go away. You're going to watch bad people get away with stuff and prosper while the good people die young without prospering. You're going to watch it your entire life on this earth.
You can work until the skin falls off of your hands and you sweat blood to make the world around you a better place...wearing yourself ragging until you return to the ground and rot....but evil will remain on this earth.
Evil thinks its winning, but evil lost a long time ago.
Evil thinks it has everything, but it actually has nothing.
Evil thinks its free, but it is actually in chains.
To those that seek their rewards in this world....THIS IS IT! They have their reward in full right here, this is all they have! This world is all they have left. They looked to this temporary decaying world for riches and pleasures at any cost, and sure they got it, but this is it...when this world is gone, when their life is gone...that's it for them.
The thing is, God won a long time ago. We struggle with evil and suffer at its hand from time to time...even with the loss of possessions and the loss of life....but evil HAS NOT won! They can only hurt the body, but your soul is safe in God's hand if you say you are his. So they can do what they want with your body, but they CAN NOT get your soul if you don't let them.
Evil has taken its full reward from this earth, but we have our reward when our time on this earth is over. We struggle here temporarily, but it is all worth it for the heavenly reward that awaits us that is far better than anything here. A reward that is also eternal where the earth is only temporary. So they think they have everything, but they really have nothing. Because when this world is gone they will have nothing, and we will have everything because we were seeking the heavenly and eternal instead of the worldly and temporary.
Evil might be here to stay while we live on this earth, but that doesn't mean they have won. While they take and destroy and seem like they are winning by hurting and harming and getting away with it...remember that they have received their reward in full and that this is it for them. They have lost, and their chains are evident despite their denial of them.
God has won.
God is everything.
God is freedom.
It might not always seem like it here, but this life is but a blink. So keep your eyes on heaven no matter what evil is doing around you.
