Fighting Evil - Poem by Raymond A. Foss

Fighting evil, with love,
fighting aggression, with forgiveness
fighting injustice, with resolve
fighting with love, not rage
Changing our hearts, to model Christ
changing to walk more humbly
changing our definitions, loving our enemies
changing our roles, a servant of God
Living lives of humility and caring
living more and more, a child of God
living in the world, but not of this earth
living today for our life in heaven
