Ever notice how we hardly think before we say things? I have a request of all of you out there reading this. Even of myself.
Everyone needs to stop.
Stop being angry. Stop hating.
Stop hating God,
Stop hating your parents,
Stop hating your siblings,
Stop hating your family,
Stop hating your peers,
Stop hating your teachers,
Stop hating kids,
Stop hating adults,
Stop hating gay people,
Stop hating straight people,
Stop hating people of different ethnicity,
Stop hating other sinners,
JUST STOP.
We're supposed to LOVE one another. Not hate. We hate. We're sinful, and we hate. When other people sin, we get angry at them. We hate them, because of what they did. We shouldn't hate the sinner, we should hate the sin!
The horrible massacre in Connecticut? That sinful man who murdered all of those people? We're just as sinful as him. No really. Our sin is just as bad.
Do you hate him? Are you angry at him? Anger is hate, by the way.
He committed murder and suicide out of hate.
And do you hate him for it?
If you do, you're hating the person because he is evil.
But guess what, guys? You're evil too. You were born in sin. You sin constantly. Just like him. Anger is equal to hate and hate is equal to murder. So if you hate him you are murdering him in your heart.
Did he deserve to die for his sin? Absolutely. But so do we.
We will continue to sin every day until we die. The only suitable punishment is death. But, there is another option, if you're willing to accept it.
Maybe you've heard about Jesus Christ, maybe not.
Maybe you've grown up hearing it, and chose not to believe it.
Maybe it's because there is so much hate in the world and you're thinking, "If this God is a loving God, then where is He? Why doesn't this Savior, save us?"
I'll tell you why, and don't you dare stop reading because you think I'm being stupid. Because it's too far-fetched, at least I have faith in Something hopeful!
Our Savior has already come! He took every bad thing, big and small, took every murder, every rape, every lie, every hateful thing said to others and said to and about Him, every single sin upon Himself. He took the blame. He took the only acceptable punishment for us. For you. Because He does love you. He's the only One capable of loving everyone unconditionally.
Do you think that's stupid? Or that it's a nice thought, but impossible? That's living without hope. What an awful way to live. There's no point in living without hope. You wouldn't be alive without hope. People who feel hopeless stop living, whether physically or mentally. So why are you still alive, reading this? What has given you hope to live on? Your family? Your friends? That's nice, but they can't love you without being angry once in a while. I'm sure they do love you, but not every second of every minute of every hour of every day. And that would be wonderful, but they can't because they're too sinful, and so are you, and frankly, so am I.
That hope isn't enough and you know it! Don't you want a bigger hope? A greater love? One that is sufficient, because you know you can never feel loved enough by people? God can and will give it to you, but you need to let Him, and you need to give it back to Him. How would you like it if you loved your father or mother or anyone who cares about you and them not love you back? God will always love those who love Him. But at the end of your life, when you see Him face to face, and you realize that you never loved Him, why should He continue to show love to you and let you reign with Him forever? Sin is not allowed in Heaven. Heaven is perfect and holy because that is where God dwells. God hates sin.
Maybe at this point you are considering all of the things I'm saying, but maybe you're thinking, if God loves His son, Jesus, but hates sin why would he place every sin ever done and that would ever be done, on Him? He did it because He loves us too. The One and Only perfect man and God died for our sins so we didn't have to. So we could live on with God and when our earthly bodies pass, we could still live on and never commit another evil thing ever again.
So what do we do now?
We acknowledge that we have done so many incredibly hateful things, and ask for forgiveness.
Have you ever done that? I mean, you've already been forgiven. All you need to do is accept it. It'll get better then. It'll all end once you're with Him. Justice will be served at the end of this earth. That's a promise. A promise from God Himself. So stop hating and start loving, please.
