Stop the hate; start the love

Whether your concern is about the divisiveness in the United States Congress, the challenges in the Eurozone, the continuing conflict in Syria, or North Korea’s more aggressive stance, few would argue against the thought that more evidence of peace and love would be very welcome.

And it’s not impossible. Right now, each of us has the power to change these distressing conditions for what the writer of Galatians in the Bible described as “the fruit of the Spirit.” He included love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance, among those fruits. And he added—shifting the balance on the side of good even further: “against such there is no law” (5:22, 23).

Hatred, whatever form it may take, has never been and never will be a part of God's plan for humanity.
