Why Do I Hate at Times

Scripture Proverbs 10:12 Hatred stirs up strife, But love covers all sins.

Observation: I normally do not hate others, but there are a couple of people I have such a hard time not hating. Can’t even think of them without the feeling of hate being in my heart. Besides people there are situations that I find myself in and instead of accepting or asking God how I should handle them I allow hatred to take over and make the situation even worse. I realize love changes everything especially me and the way I treat others.

Application: I need to realize I have a choice whether to hate or to love and if I find myself going down the wrong road that’s when I cry out to God for help. Once I even think of my Lord love enters in. It’s only when left to my own thoughts without God’s intervention, that when my emotions stirs up strife.

Prayer: My Lord you chose to love me even though I’m not loveable. Give me that same heart and may I see other as you see them and look at every situation and ask what you desire me to do or learn.
