Even the enemy needs permission from God to do what he wants with you.

About This Quote

The Bible tells us that God has given us the power to rise up against our enemies. He has promised that when we do so, he will be with us. Jesus said in Luke 6:22, "But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you." We all need permission from God to do what we want with our lives. There are times when God allows us to suffer for something we have done wrong.

He uses circumstances to show us what our sin has caused others. But in the end, He always gives us the ability to rise up again and do good things.
