evil. it's not good. we want good. we don't want evil. simple. flee from it. literally turn and run the other direction when it creeps into your life. i'm working on fleeing from evil. there are things that may not seem awful. like i write them off and say it's not that bad if i cuss. or watch trashy mtv shows. or read texts from last night every day. or read cosmo. because they're not necessarily sins. but they instill an evil in me. they cultivate the force in nature that governs and gives ride to wickedness and sin. and instead i should be thinking about whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable. jersey shore is not excellent or praiseworthy. i have become more spiritually mature and am training myself to distinguish between good and evil. i have seen god and will not do evil. not only will i not do evil but i will hate it and reject it and turn from it and flee from it. because it stunts my relationship with god. the holier i am, the more i love him.

evil is anything that isn't good. and everything good is from the lord. so everything evil isn't from the lord. which is nothing i want to have anything to do with.
