"Hatred stirreth up strifes: but love covereth all sins." - Proverbs 10:12

God encourages us at all times to choose love rather than hate. No matter what you are feeling as of the moment, even if you are not in the mood, because we shouldn't allow our emotions to run our lives for it will only end negatively.

Hatred can only lead us to sin, and the wages of sin is death (Romans 6:23). Nothing right comes out of hating people & things, it can only lead us to our destruction.

'...love covereth all sin.' In choosing love to run our lives, we are choosing God for God is love... and if that is the case then we are allowing Him to take over in our lives every single day, and in every circumstance we are in. With love, we can never think or inflict harm on anyone... if God is with us, all we could do is those things pleasing to God, all for His glory!

With that being said,

When others are bad, still be good.

When others are mean, still be kind.

When others are harsh, still be gentle.

In every hateful things that will happen to you... or despite what others do to you, still choose to love. That is God's will & command for us, to love despite the hate we receive.

"Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good." - Romans 12:21

I believe the only way we can overcome hate is with love.

To God be the glory!
