Food For Thought 40

The only thing we should hate is the hatred for love.

Elaboration: Every emotion is important. As we are not born with hate, we learn how to.  During a period of time of horrible suffering my heart was filled with hatred. But I realize my hatred was simply confusion.  What I have learned, as many will say that love is confusing, is that it is not.  Unconditional love does not allow for hatred. As we all feel hate at moments in our life, it is an emotion that can be very valuable.  As long as it does not lie in the heart for it will always lie to the heart.  I've always longed to understand how something that we need and want so much, such as love, for ourselves is so hard to give to others. Whether you believe in God or not, take a moment of your time to read this first.

1 Corinthians 13:4-7New International Version (NIV)

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

As you expect this for yourself, please take the time to accept that others need the same. For the only thing wrong with loving someone is not loving them enough. You can never love too much and there is more than enough to go around. Please share.
