I am desperate to weed out the anger, the hatred, the prejudice from my heart.
There is nothing in the way of Christ that looks like the climate today—the twisting of politics and doctrine, the excuses for hate speech and elitism. Why is it so easy to fall into the tossing waves of this world and risk a drowning soul?
I am desperate to keep my head, and my heart, above the chaos.
Staying away from social media is one way I have found to help. The rabid posts cause me to spiral, and a tidal wave threatens to slam me to faithlessness. The vicious claims and errant logic are unrecognizable in the God I love.
I keep having to remind myself that God isn’t defined by humans, even if He loves all of them. He’s also not conditional in His love, even if their love for Him is destroyed by hatred.
So, I am trying to stay centered on the Truth of God, in Love, with repentance, hanging onto faith even if it’s brittle and thin.
Through it all, my constant heart cry is,
Lord Have Mercy.
So, what are you doing to keep the hatred out?
