1 Corinthians 13:1-8 (NASB)
We must overcome hate and bitterness to be truly free. Holding on to hatred makes us exhausted and sick.
Antoine Leiris
On Friday night, you stole the life of an exceptional being, the love of my life, the mother of my son, but you will not have my hate. I will not give you the satisfaction of hating you. This is what you want, but to respond to your hate with anger would be to yield to the same ignorance that made you what you are. My son is only seventeen months old. Today he will have his snack as he does everyday, then we will play as we do everyday, and all his life this little boy will defy you by being HAPPY and FREE. Because you will not have his hate either.
Love appears to be the spiritual force that powers every other spiritual thing. With out love no other spiritual practice has power.
Luke 23:33-34 (KJV)
He was abandoned, mocked, beaten and in the process of being murdered and He forgave them.
He prayed for them.
When you pray for an enemy, it moves you from being hurt by them to being hurt for them.
