Proverbs 10:12 (NKJV) Hatred stirs up strife, but love covers all sins.
This is a very simple, straight forward verse that speaks so much to us if we let it.
Hatred runs rampant in the world these days. It has become a way of life for millions and millions of people, including so very many of God’s children… followers of Christ.
Evil has devastated so many of us in many different ways. And the after-effect of these attacks is bitterness and hatred toward the perpetrators.
It’s a hard thing sometimes to lay aside hate and love someone who has hurt you. We will never claim that it’s easy to do. But it’s something that we are commanded to do by God himself.
And Jesus taught this very thing in this verse:
Matthew 5:44 (NKJV) But I say to you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you…
Love is from God. Hatred and bitterness come from the enemy.
What will we choose to do? It’s our choice.
Let it be love.
