Too Much Hate! Is It Too Late?



I'm not God, so I'm speculating on this, but I can just imagine God looking down on his creation with deep frustration. 



On the other hand, God probably doesn't get as frustrated as me, due to the fact he knows exactly how everything will pan out.



I'm just so tired of the hate. It used to be that we didn't like a certain politician, actor, singer, teacher, preacher, double feature...etc., but now it is pure hatred of the things and folks we, uh...hate.



Not to sound preachy, but didn't God say he would love us in the same way we love others? So, if we are hating everybody and everyTHING, is God gonna hate us in the same way? Just sayin'. 



I don't know much, but I DO know I feel sick to my stomach when I hate, and feel much better when I love. 



I wonder if all the haters are running around sick to their tummies, therefore it makes them hate even more. 



I cannot live like that. It reminds me of schoolyard politics from way, way back when I went to St. Ann Elementary.



You hear a rumor that Billy Brown kicked a puppy, and you just hate him for that! Then you hear he kicks puppies ALL THE TIME, and your hatred grows! Then someone says, after he kicks them, he drowns them in the river! So your hatred is at a boiling point!!!



Come to find out, none of it is true. Someone made the puppy kicking story up, because Billy didn't invite him/her to his birthday party.

Isn't that the way of social media? Folks fuel the flames of hatred by telling the disgusting things that their "enemies" are doing, whether the stories are true are not. 

"Did you know "they" saw Nancy Pelosi kick a puppy?" A lot of people will automatically believe that story, because they hate Nancy Pelosi!

"Well, Trump was seen drowning puppies in the Potomac!" "I knew it! That dirty guy!!! I HATE him!!"

Now, both stories could be true, but are we going to hate them on account of heresay, we didn't witness the alleged events, but our hatred builds over the say-so of strangers, and even if there's video, didn't you ever hear of "Deep-Fake?"



All joking aside, we ain't supposed to hate people. "How can we say we love God, who we have not seen, and hate our brothers, who we have seen." 
 1 John 4:20.

In conclusion, STOP THE HATE, it's not great, or fate, it's simply bait, to make us irate, it's not too late.
