i have been seeing a lot of what festering hatred could do...to a person...to a family...to a generation...and to many generations to come...
and most times...there is nothing one can do about it...but pray...
but what you want to do...is shake that person...and plead with them...to let go...because that hatred keeps you...keeps you locked up in a prison...keeps you from flourishing...keeps you from blessings...keeps you from growing...and mostly...keeps you stuck in mire that is just not worth it...ever...
festering hatred...how it breaks the heart of God...this is not how He intended His children to live...it is one thing to see it in the lives of unbelievers...but when you see this in the body of Christ...what can you say?
what can you say to those who know...what can you say to those who have heard the word...and choose to ignore it...or choose to apply the parts they want to apply...but not all...
God's way of living is not a "i'll take a dash of this...and a portion of that...but this here...no no...not for me" kind of choice...do we choose to take all of His commandments...and live the life He asks of us...or do we pick and choose? and ultimately lose...
God's word says...do not hate...love thy neighbor as thyself...it is plain and simple...no two hundred ways to intrepret that...just basic..."do not hate..."
