Love and hate are strong words and we have probably experienced feelings of love and hate in our lives. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., said, "Hate doesn't end hate. Love ends hate." In our lives, we need to be sure we hate evil, but then work to overcome this evil with love for God and each other!
God calls us to love Him and to show love to each other. To show this love, we can start with loving God and accepting His love. We can join Him in hating evil, but we cannot let this hatred spread in our lives. We can find safety as He guides and guards us. As we love God and hate evil, we can be more loving and overcome hate with love!
Hate evil and allow the love of God to help you overcome evil!
Prayer:
Dear God-
Thank You for Your love. Help me to hate evil and overcome it with Your love in my life. In Jesus' name I pray, amen.
