My Time With Jesus Tuesday

Hate Destroys The Hater

James 4:17, therefore, to him who knows to do good and does not do it, to him it is sin.

Hate is defined as an intense or passionate dislike for someone. When someone does something evil against you, the normal reaction is to seek revenge in some way. That is not the way according to God's word.

Romans 12: 19, beloved, do not avenge yourselves, but rather give place to wrath; for it is written, vengeance is mine, I will repay, says the Lord.

Proverbs 10: 12, hatred stirs up strife, but love conquers all sins.

Besides being against the word of God, hate has a number of bad side effects for the hater. For instance, hate messes up your thinking. It is normal for hate to cause bad decisions that make things even worse for you than the original offense.

1 John 3: 15, whoever hates his brother, is a murderer, and you know that no murderer has eternal life abiding in him.

Almighty God talked about the heart and that you are innocent or guilty by its judgment.

Matthew 15: 19, for out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemes.

Another point. The longer you hate, the stronger the hate becomes. You can destroy the rest of your life, or give it to God and move on in peace.

Proverbs 20: 22, do not say, I will recompense evil. Wait for the Lord, and He will save you.

When we hate someone, we go against the word of God. We put ourselves in spiritual jeopardy. We have no peace, and the person who did us the injustice doesn't know or care, so who is the winner. Do not miss out on what Almighty God has for us.

Psalm 51: 10, create in me a clean heart oh God and renew a steadfast spirit within me.

God Bless you and your family. Praise The Lord!

Remember Jesus loves you.

Prayer of salvation.

My Lord Jesus Christ, I thank you and Praise you for what you did on the cross for me. By your stripes I was healed and your blood washed away my sins. Your death and resurrection made my salvation possible. I confess my sins, and I ask you to come into my heart as my personal savior. 

Amen!

Praise The Lord!
