Day 16: Hate No More

I don't understand HATE. 

How can you HATE someone who does GOOD?

Just ask JESUS. 

HE not only did GOOD,

but HE WAS GOOD,

PERFECTLY GOOD.

And still others HATED HIM.

How sad.

The PERFECT LOVE of GOD

HATED by others.

Is it easier to HATE than to RECEIVE LOVE,

just because you don't

BELIEVE that you can LOVE,

and BE LOVED.

LOVE is a CHOICE that wins all battles.

To CHOOSE LOVE over HATE.

"Hatred stirs up strife, but LOVE covers all offenses"

(Proverbs 10:12).

To CHOOSE KINDNESS over HATE. 

"Be kind to one another, tenderhearted,

 forgiving one another,

 as GOD in CHRIST forgave you"

(Ephesians 4:32).

To CHOOSE FORGIVENESS over HATE.

 "Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the LORD forgave you"

(Colossians 3:13).

A CHOICE to choose.

Does it take a bullet of HATE to shut the mouth of someone who LOVES?

Just ask JESUS.

JESUS,

 who took the bullets in the form of

NAILS

that HATED HIM.

And why?

Who would HATE someone to death unless they felt threatened by them,

because they KNEW HE was sharing TRUTH?

Think about it.

Would you waste your time HATING someone so much

 because of the TRUTH they were speaking,

 that you would kill them?

Sounds absurd, but it is TRUE. 

Just look at the CROSS that is full of the bullets of HATE.

But little did the assassins KNOW that the JESUS they were killing was

the SAVIOR OF THE WORLD,

who no one could ever KILL.

Because LOVE outlasts HATE.

"FATHER, forgive them, for they don’t know what they are doing”

(Luke 25:34).

OUR FATHER,

who CREATED every human being on the face of the earth.

It is time to bury HATE.

It is a time of PEACE.

It is a time to BELIEVE THE TRUTH of GOD,

that is found in JESUS.

For JESUS loves the HATERS, because HE LOVES everyone.

How is LOVE possible?

Only through the blood of CHRIST.

"I can do all things through CHRIST who gives me strength"

So let's pray that ALL the HATERS will KNOW that they are LOVED BY GOD.

Today is the day.

Say GOODBYE to HATE for

"GOD SO LOVED THE WORLD"
