Hate

Hate

Hate like love has an element of timelessness about it.

He seems to consume the one who will allow it

To rule his life.

He becomes the driving force

Motivating action.

Interpreting the senses.

Judging others.

He consumes trust - if allowed.

He rules out forgiveness.

He seeks his own way!

He cannot comprehend a gift - Unmerited.

He is a ruthless ruler!

He is impatient, envious, rude, filled with arrogant pride,

Insists on his own way, is self-seeking,

Resentful, notices all wrong done to him,

Tolerates nothing, but returns evil for evil.

Boils over with jealousy.

Encourages anger and rage.

He is a ruthless ruler indeed!!!

And he seems to live inside seeking whom he may devour.

His goal is our defeat!!!

How can he be defeated?

“Thanks be to God—through Jesus Christ our Lord!”

“And the God of Peace will soon crush Satan under your feet.”

“And I will put enmity between you and the woman,

And between your off spring and hers;

He will crush your head, and you will strike His heel.”

Thanks be to God!!!
