In today’s world, there seems to be a lot of hate. You can see it in the faces of those on both sides of an issue. Proverbs 10:12 says
“Hatred stirs up strife, but love covers all sins.”
Letting love replace hatred is hard to do. But love allows us to rise above our hatred. We need to try to understand others. We may not agree with them, but we can seek to see their point of view. And, as much as we’d like to act on our anger or our hate, our actions only make things worse! Our bad reaction can be replaced with a good action. The very feeling of hatred should be replaced with love. There is power in love. Love is the antidote to hatred. Love overcomes. In 1 Thessalonians 3:12, Paul said,
“May the Lord make you to increase and abound in love to one another and to all.”
Jesus is the solution to the world’s problems. It sounds simple, but it is the truth. Let us, as Christians, be different. Let’s be like Jesus.
