LOVING AND HATING
The 32nd Day of Love
Memory Verse— Amos 5:15. Hate the evil and love the good.
The Prayer— O Lord, teach me what to love and what to hate.
The Affirmation— Today I will love the good.
The Scripture Lesson— Zechariah 8:20-23
The Meditation
Loving and hating are not always extremes—
sometimes they are very close together, in the
same person!
We have witnessed hatred in a family. A wife and
husband that were once devoted to each other
may become the bitterest enemies.
Children may resent their parents.
What is the problem of love and hate?
Resentment about little things is an early “seed”
that grows toward hatred. Unwillingness to forgive
means that you have asked resentment to become a permanent guest in your heart.
The cure for hate is positive love, created, sustained
and expressed.
When our heart is filled with love, there is no
room for hate.
