HATE! HATE! HATE ! The word and the actions of HATE !!!!

Every morning I wake up thanking my Savior for another opportunity to walk this earth.  A chance to try to make some small difference in the world I live in.  Some days I am successful and other days I am not, but I don't give up trying.

HATE is one of my stumbling blocks !!! I hate the cold, I hate being fat, I hate when things don't go my way, I hate this or that, I hate being that person that hates so many stupid things in life but what I HATE most are haters.

When is it okay to look at someone and say "just because you don't believe like I do I hate you !".  The world does not evolve around you are me, it is made up of so many factions and differences, that at some point to not be a hater of others, we have to recognize that our differences are the things that make us stronger.

There is so much bullying on Facebook, the media, TV etc. with negative comics, ugly words, hidden meanings, nasty pictures, anything to incite HATE in someone.  Sometimes I am one of those people and I hate that.

I saw a couple of posts yesterday and was reminded that "We are created in HIS image."  What if, just what if those who are different than us - race, sexuality, mental disease, physical limitations, even politics etc, what if they are our test to see if we can become lovers like Jesus was and is.  We are failing miserably if it is and we won't know for sure until we get to HEAVEN and then we will probably be shocked.

Jesus spent time with the lepers, the prostitutes, those who were shunned by so many others.  I do not profess to be a minister of the word, just a person of conviction that we don't have to embrace or accept others life styles, but we do have to show love and tolerance no matter how far we are pushed.

We have to become the non-haters of this world.  By showing the light of JESUS in our treatment of others, by embracing their differences, by extending the arm of Christian love, we can become non-Haters and doers like HE is.

So today, I am going to try to be a non-hater, the person who does not post or forward that nasty comic, the person who accepts the ones that are different than me, today I want to be the one who wants to be more like JESUS.  I am going to try really hard. One day at a time !!!

You can make a difference today simply by not doing those things that are easy, but by taking the road less traveled until we have a traffic jam of Jesus like people.  I will be looking for you on the road.


Jeremiah 9:24- But let him who boast boast about this: that he understand and know me, that I am the LORD, who exercises kindness, justice and righteousness on earth, for in these I delight,: declares the LORD.


Hate means to "dislike intensely or passionately; feel extreme aversion for or extreme hostility toward; detest" and I am surrounded by haters everywhere.
