When I heard this from Stephen Miller I felt it in my soul. I said this yesterday on the livestream, we all have a choice... you can build out of goodness or you can attempt to build out of hate--but Stephen Miller said it better. [Hate can't build, it can only destroy.] "Those trying to foment hatred against us, what do you have?" "You are wickedness, you are jealousy, you are envy, you are hatred--you can build nothing, you can produce nothing, you can create nothing. We are the ones who build, we are the ones who create, we are the ones who lift up humanity." -- I came to grips with this a long time ago. The fight against those who despise builders will never end. Those who choose to destroy instead of build will nurture hate and resentment in their hearts.
“But for Cain and his offering he had no regard. So Cain was very angry, and his face fell.” Genesis 4:5
“Cain spoke to Abel his brother. And when they were in the field, Cain rose up against his brother Abel and killed him.” Genesis 4:8
Like Charlie Kirk, Abel was a builder. Cain had a choice--he chose dark.
The Lord said to Cain, “Why are you angry, and why has your face fallen? If you do well, will you not be accepted? And if you do not do well, sin is crouching at the door. Its desire is contrary to you, but you must rule over it.”
We all have a choice--be like Abel (be like Charlie)? Or be like Cain? Be a builder or be a destroyer... I choose builder. And with that choice comes consequences. Know this, the destroyers will come for you--it's part of being a builder. Just remember this about those who wish to destroy you, "you are wickedness, you are jealousy, you are envy, you are hatred--you can build nothing, you can produce nothing, you can create nothing. We are the ones who build, we are the ones who create, we are the ones who lift up humanity." Be a builder.
