Hate spreads like cancer if it goes unchecked. It’s a disease that destroys life. It erodes. Most of all, it is ungodly. Jesus left us with one last commend: to love. Hate is the exact opposite of love. It’s ungodly.
It’s clear to see that hate is spreading across the globe. In the United States politics have become politics of hate. The Middle East is a cauldron of hate. Russia is driven by hate. It’s ungodly. The cancer of hate is spreading. Really bad things follow hate.
I refuse to give into hate. I force myself to see people around me as what they are: all children of God. I’m far from perfect. I’m the perfect sinner. But I do my best to stop hate anywhere in my life. I stop anger and bad feelings immediately because tiny negative sparks can light the fire of hate.
No one who hates is a Christian. You can’t follow Jesus Christ if you hate anyone. In fact, you can’t follow Jesus Christ if you don’t love. This is all very simple.
The devil may be winning and “loving” the spread of hate but it won’t win in the end. The devil loses because Jesus wins in the end.
You pick what side you want to be on and where you want to spend eternity.
LOVE! It puts out the flames of hate!
