don't hate

Simply put… it holds true that God actually is Love. Like God = Love… Love = God. It would be okay to say I God you… if people didn’t look at you weird. Not everyone would get that. Naturally love is something that’s hard to comprehend – especially for young people. Sure to the world it might mean having really strong feelings towards something, or almost obsessing, can’t live without, need to breathe the same air kind of feelings. That’s how I use to see it, I’m sure others might see it the same way. When you look at Love the same way you look at God, it becomes a lot clearer.



Who is God? The creator. How are most things created? With Love, right? Babies, gifts, all that good stuff. They’re supposed to be, at least. Those with a craft – they love what they do and make a living doing it. It all comes together to make the statement that without Love, nothing is possible true. Fill in the blanks. With God, all things are possible!



We’re to love our neighbors. God commands us to do so to keep the love going around. He loves us with great obsession. Like a father who wants to keep his family together, he needs us all to get along. The laughter that comes from your friends, or family, that keeps you all connected to a degree is love. Sure people use the term love loosely, but that’s where the worlds “obsessed” definition and the godly definition cross. I use to pick up on people using the word loosely all the time, and in the back of my mind think that it was a lie, knowing that in many cases their was no relationship there or the those involved really didn’t know one another enough for love to be there. Once you grasp the true concept of love though, it’s amazing where you can find God in the world and how unaware the lost are to Him.



The opposite of love of course is Hate, which is everything the devil represents. A term that’s more recently been used a lot more frequently and it’s meaning altered by trend. Hate is no longer a strong dislike towards someone or something, but is any kind of negativity toward anything. It’s largely become jealousy, yet still represents everything a Christian should refrain from. I’ve found me catching myself in jealous fits before and either examined the way I felt towards the other person, or had someone bring it to my attention and have come to the realization that, “I’m a hater.” Hate now has its perks too though. It’s become motivation for us who are blessed to continue to do what keeps us blessed. So let your haters be your motivators. And... Don’t hate!



Be Blessed, Stay Blessed
