I was recently listening to the radio and the host of the show mentioned that many people default to hate. He gave some examples of people on social media telling what they hate. His suggestion was simple. We may not like everything, but instead of focusing on what we hate, we should focus on love. Our thoughts and actions should default to love!
When we think about our actions, we should start from a place of love, not hate. We are reminded throughout the Bible that God is love. His love is visible in His Son coming to Earth and dying for our sin. It is because of His love for us that we can be redeemed and that we can love others. Instead of starting with hate, we should allow God to fill our hearts so we can always start with love - for ourselves and for those around us!
Allow God to fill your heart and start from a place of love!
Prayer:
Dear God-
Thank You for Your love and for saving me from my sin. Help me to always start from a place of love, Your love. In Jesus I pray, amen.
