Isn't It Sad? Hatred.

Isn't it sad...sad to know that the hateful persons, the persons who have been blinded in our world will  suffer the greatest losses that life snatches from them to preserve a history of what the love of God has planted for those of us who have been fortunate to experience to have tasted of its beauty?

Each week now for days and weeks and months and years I've seen the same enveloping, fearful, intimidated and hopeless spirit of hatred rampantly race to abolish the thing that it does not understand, the love of God. And yet it does understand God but refuses to acknowledge that which God has made, life. Life, his creation human life. Human life that has been fearfully and wonderfully made in the image of God. If hatred had hope it would reform its ways, it would be conformed by the renewing of its mind. It would take on the mind of Christ, but it will not, it cannot, it will never conform because it is ignorant. Hatred is ignorant, hatred is blind, hatred will very shortly, very soon be eradicated, wiped away, be casted away. lose its battle, lose its strength because the very strength that seems to be strength is weak. Hatred lives in a lie, its puts on a farad deceiving as many who will fall for its blind-sided view regarding people. Hatred's character is noted as cowardly, with poor wisdom (if any) and selfishness. Selfishness breeds and underlying current that could harbor hatred if festered long enough, so it's important to understand what fuels hatred and what senseless motivation encompasses its mindset. Isn't it sad?

What isn't sad? Kindness. Genuine appreciation. Thankfulness. Forgiveness. Understanding. Peace. Love. Meekness. Temperance. Self-Control. Joy. Gentleness. Faith. Long-suffering. Did you know that there is no written law against nine of these and never will there ever be? How amazing, how amazing are each of these and despite what the spirit of hatred exemplifies true courage is found when we practice the attributes that are 180 degrees opposite of it. Something really amazes each of us however when we encounter the testimony of those who maybe at one time or season within the focus of hatred realized is what happens when a life is changed from hatred to a one of compassion, understanding and gratefulness. Don't think it can happen? Think again, it can happen and it happens everyday because one thing that can't be ignored and that iher life has the core of every person who is confronted with the unwavering confidence of faith. Faith, confidence--confidence, faith. The two have a consistent devotion to each other like no other seen throughout the course of history in every generation. We can see the strength of the two stand in the journey of life no matter what level of hatred tries to snuff out the attributes of life's beauty, care and unselfishness toward others. Isn't it sad that more of us haven't realized how simple that is?

Nevertheless--we all learn, we all grow better or worse. We all have a perception and we all have prospective, its just understanding the the healthiest perspective that brings us into understanding about the importance of exercising as much of the opposite of hatred as possible. I look forward to
meeting you, sharing a smile, a hug or a genuine conversation while together dispelling the sadness of hatred.
