Reading another man's heart is above my paygrade.

Jul 17, 2019, 2:12 PM

First and foremost, I struggle to deal with my own heart. Daily I examine my motives and in the eve when I'm quite and things around me aren't distracting I try to be honest with myself with great intent on self examination.

Just as I see a cardiologist for the conditions of my blood pumper I look to the Lord for His opinion on my spiritual heart. I always find myself lacking.

Hate for another is outside the bounds He set for me. I do not and can not presume to know how wrong hate toward humans is for others but I believe it will turn into a cancer in their souls making their ears deaf to truth and hearts cold toward real justice, rights and wrongs about human behavior.

Justifying their hate they will hate life and their lives are casualities of the cancerous war raging in their souls. The contamination is real, I have suffered it once in my life when I hated another human so much I refused to see him redeemed. I have nearly made that mistake with my own siblings but I learned a great lesson of life.

When the Bible instructs us to forgive one another seventy times seven it is not an exaggeration to make a point. True hate, after one recognizes it within will take a long time to recuperate from.

I had to forgive everyday for over a year to conquer the cancerous growth in my soul from hate. Accusing me of hate toward another human is wrong for that reason alone. I will not cut off my nose because it's ugly and makes my face ugly, not ever again, anyway. Anyone thinking I would spend the emotional effort it takes to really hate another is wrongly supposing I would hurt myself because of my hate. I will not punish myself for that which another is, does or feels.

Anyone reading this should look for the truth of my words and disregard the trivial arguments we had over policies and politics. Take it from experience, hating another human is like drinking poison and waiting for them to die. Trust me, you'll find little comfort from your hate even when he is dead.
