Who do we hate, do we dislike, or not want to be around? You could have a list like I did at one time not written out but in your mind. Weather you list is long or short it does not matter. It is not easy to love everyone I know thar very well. People you love will do you harm and your purpose to love them. That crazy right? But over the past few weeks since the year started, I started to ask forgiveness in the people I disliked or even hated and started to pray for them. God love everyone even if they fall away or sin against Him. The greatest commandment in the bible is love one another as I have loved you. If that is the case, shouldn’t we be doing it as well. As I said it’s not easy to do and will take some time and I’m saying to best friends with them but to stope whatever you feel against them. There are people that I blamed for certain things that have happened but today I pause and ask God to forgive me of that too. So instead of putting stock in hate and dislike towards people put that stock to the one true king Jesus Christ and worship and pray for them. But before we can do that search you heart and ask yourself who you need to ask for forgiveness for in this area of disliking or hating people and ask for forgiveness. Then we can move forward and worship and pray for them. Have not hate or dislike towards anyone instead have the love of Christ for all. You may never see them but at least you are not bound by that hatred or dislike, you are free in Christ. It doesn’t mean you have to tell them not at all. It’s between you and God to ask for forgiveness and then to love them. So, don’t think you have to go to each person and ask for forgiveness about this, but you can if you think you need to. If you do, don’t think it will solve the problem, it can create more problems, so I would seek God and ask him what you should do. If you need discernment as I said seek to God. If you are still not sure ask wait and keep seeking God and he will answer you in his timing. Never rush into things life this always seek God first. 37 And He said to him, “‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind.’ 38 This is the great and foremost commandment. 39 The second is like it, ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ Matthew 22: 37-39
So go Forth and love one another!!!!
