Most of us
are not in a position to make laws, but we do what we can to influence
lawmakers to do the right thing. Abortion laws are so horrific and detestable
to people of faith that, if we let it, we can be consumed with grief and anger.
Paul reminds us, “Do not repay anyone evil for evil. Be careful to do what is
right in the eyes of everybody. If it is possible, as far
as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone. Do not
take revenge, my friends, but leave room for God’s wrath, for it is written:
“It is mine to avenge; I will repay,” says the Lord. On the
contrary: “If your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him
something to drink. In doing this, you will heap burning coals on his head.” Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good” (Ro
12:17-21 NIV).
