Resist evil and it will flee from you.
So long as those you love are absorbed in the things that in the past have led you to worry over them, be tender and sympathetic with them, surround them with your holy and helpful love.
Jesus was tender and compassionate with all who were sick or diseased in body or mind.

He was never angry with any, save the proud and self-righteous Pharisees.

He tenderly forgave the adulterous woman, justified the publican and never lectured or rebuked those who came to have their bodily and mental infirmities removed by him.

Let us then be tender with the erring and the sinful, rather than censorious, and full of rebuke.

Is it not the better way to point out the right--overcome the evil with the good, and thus bind our erring loved ones more firmly to ourselves.
