Yeah, it’s confusing. I like to reflect on a parable in the New Testament, when the workers (us) in the fields came and told the master (God) that there were a bunch of weeds (evil and wickedness) in the fields with the grain (goodness). The master said the weeds were sown in the middle of the night by the evil one (devil). When the workers said, “should we pull out the weeds?”, the master said “no, because by pulling out the weeds the grain would also get pulled out”. Rather, the master said “let the weeds (evil) and grain (good) grow together, and I’ll separate them at the time of the harvest (when we leave our earthly bodies).

Rather than trying to distance ourselves from evil, we need to accept that evil is within all of us and part of us. God will remove the evil from us when we join with him again, and we need to be strong and courageous in our faith in God. In the interim (while we are on earth), we need to choose God (like you have😃), and say “NO” to evil, wickedness, deceit, jealousy, etc. God will do the judging, not us. We need to forgive like Jesus showed us how when He was on Earth.

God bless you for choosing God! Stay strong, fren!
