Practical Hatred
April 13, 2009
Wouldn’t it be funny if we were to gauge ourselves to see if we hate anyone? If this question was posed to someone, the answer most of the time would be “No, I don’t hate anyone.” But do you know the real truth is that we all hate in one way or another. Sometimes, it is the way we react to things right away, emotional feelings, or even holding back in our expressions.
I was reading the other day and came across some reading material one of my good friends gave me on things God hates. I was shocked to think that even God would hate anything because I always thought of God as a loving and forgiving God. The further I read, the more I felt a release in my heart knowing that it is acceptable to hate some things. In the following, I present some of the examples to sum up the core of it.
First thing God hates is pride, because Proverbs 11:2 when pride comes, then comes disgrace, but with humility comes wisdom. Secondly, God hates a lying tongue, because good relationships cannot be built without honesty. Thirdly, God hates the feet that are quick to rush into evil, because Proverbs 29:11) “A fool gives full vent to his anger, but a wise man keeps himself under control.”
Often, we end up hating the person who commits these transgressions rather than the offenses. As I said earlier, we are all guilty and most of the time we don’t even realize that we are in the hate mode because we are so used to it. We must recognize these instances to become a better person. It will not only do good to ourselves but will inspire others to do the same. As Mahatma Gandhi said, “the change must begin with you.” Let us together stop any hatred toward people and make a change by despising the impure things even God abominates.

Word from God

Water starts from white snow (it’s holy and pure, that’s when we were born from your mother’s womb). It melts and it comes down with a new hope to this world on the way it rushes thru the stones of the mountains. Running down finding new things on the way poked by thorns and tossed by stones. On the way, it helps the fishes other species (people around them; preaching the gospel). Its goal is to reach the ocean. A lot of them don’t make it to the sea, they dry out. They been blocked by that dam (worldly things) other (luxuries things against God’s will).
As the dam tries to stop this water, it breaks the stops and runs over to seek its destiny. Which is the sea. Once it reaches its destiny, there is the God of Almighty holding a Golden crown says my daughter/son you have finished your race.
Blessed is he who followed the Christ.
