HATRED, A  NOXIOUS  WEED

I John 4:20-21 “If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen? And this commandment have we from him, That he who loveth God love his brother also. (KJV)

When we hate another, it hurts us most of all.

To our health and happiness it is a great pitfall.

Like cancer in our spirit that slowly kills the soul.

It spreads though out our system until it kills the whole.

The Lord spoke many times about this attitude.

It does not just affect us, it also taints our brood.

I’ve seen it spread through families gripping one by one.

Till all become consumed by the hatred we’ve begun.

If we hate our brother, the love of God can’t be.

Satan then has blinded us until we cannot see.

If we say that we love God but fan our hatred’s fire.

God says there’s no truth in us and that we are a liar.

God’s love is like a flower that grows within our heart.

Its fragrance and its beauty show up in every part.

We are the only Bible that some will ever read.

Make sure that what they see is not some noxious weed.
