Love And Hate

Our world is filled with conflicts and death- death from wars, from oppression and greed The heart is made the dwelling place of hate instead of a throne of love Love is swallowed by the fire of hate. We wonder when will humans enthrone love in human hearts - love to overcome hate? Hate enslaves and victimizes us as lesser humans Hate deprives us from the joy- the innate joy in love. Hate leads us to darkness without hope. Love brings life, restores joy and peace in ourselves and with others. But our love can easily turn to hate at a click of a second Our joy and peace can easily be shattered - declaring ourselves defeated and hopeless; and with surging hate, wanting only to inflict pain on those outside us We need to come closer to the real source of love -Jesus- the way to love and forgive.
