Genesis 4:4-8, 1 John 3:10-12, 1 Samuel 18:1-3, 6-9

Now listen, hear me and hear me good.. just as there is no resemblance between day and night, dark and light.. the same goes for love and hate. It doesn’t matter if you or I were aware of it or not, and some point someone has hated you, hated on you and despised you just as in the opposite of that someone has loved you, still loves you and adores you. But, tonight Our GOD wants us to focus on our own hearts rather than those who have hurt us, are looking for a way to hurt us, love us and are looking for a way to express their love for us. Mind you, sure there are many instances where any one of us may come to a point where there is a significant amount of bitterness that begins to build up in our hearts like an unkept field that grows wild with vegetation. (Hebrews 12:14-15) Or we may even find ways to justify our unchecked feelings and often overly dramatized emotions. JESUS made it plain when He said: “But I say unto you which hear, Love your enemies, do good to them which hate you, bless them that curse you, and pray for them which despitefully use you.” (Luke‬ ‭6‬:‭27‬-‭28‬ ) So, let’s dive in!!!

1 Corinthians 13:3-8

Final Thought: Hey, be it far from me to tell anyone how to live their life or how they should handle their own heart issues. (1 Thessalonians 4:11-12) That my Brothers and Sisters is of your own responsibility. But, I will tell you this.. there is absolutely no place in eternity with Our Father in Heaven for any of us who choose to harbor ill willed thoughts, evil intentions masked with fake smiles and hugs, launch side-eye darts armed with jealous fits of hidden rage and/or allow out and out demonic traits to gain a stronghold. (2 Corinthians 2:10-11) You see, I love the Word of GOD because it truly leaves “no stone unturned”. Meaning, it covers each and every minor to major crack and crevice that we sometimes or more often than not think we can ease through. Wrong answer.. so the solution, asking GOD for the grace and mercy to see others the way that He does and the strength mixed with courage to love them unconditionally no matter what.
