Do You Have Hatred In Your Heart?

Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love. This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him.1 John 4:8-9

Have you ever uttered the words “I can’t stand them” or “I hate them”? Wow hate is a pretty impactful word. Did God hate? I  don’t think so. 

I mean really do you actually hate? Probably should maybe think about praying for the person you have such strong negative feelings about. Every person whether they act god fearing or not was still created in His image so keep that in mind before calling someone a moron, an idiot, stupid, or some other less than endearing title. 

As this year comes to a close in a few days have you made any resolutions?Perhaps try to pray for your enemies this could even include people in the political arena that have been intentionally hurting others or who you may not understand. Many people are lost without a savior. Try lifting up those you would rather have nothing to do with and repent of any ugly talk about them. 

PRAYER: Lord Jesus this election season has been rough and is still not over. Help me to remember to pray for those trying to destroy America or those who have been  deceived. Help me to remember everyone is made in the image of God and to pray for their salvation. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
