The Truth About Anger.

The truth is: that we want everyone to hate the people we hate as much as we hate them. We might even ask God to hate them and send them to hell.

But God loves even them. And what he wants is for us to love them and bring them back to him. Instead we chase them farther away with our self-righteous indignation.

Our hate fuels their hate, and their hate fuels ours. We give each other exactly what the other wants-- rage fueled hate. 

The devil influences their hate, and then their hate fuels yours, and Satan thanks you for a job well done.

God is love and mercy. Everything loving and merciful is from God. Satan is hate and condemnation. Everything hateful and condemning is from Satan. Those who are for Satan are against God, of their own choice and free will. Not making a choice is still making a choice.

God does not condemn us to hell. We choose that for ourselves-- if we choose anything other than God. Hell is literally the absence of God. Would you condemn God for loving you enough to give to you what you want?

However, we can never choose for someone else. Would you have your enemy choose for you? When you hate someone, curse them, you are trying to send them to hell. But you are only giving them power over you. You are giving them the satisfaction of watching you put yourself through hell. 

When another human is your enemy, you will forget that there is a real enemy that hates you more than your mind can imagine. And even worse, you forget that there is a God that loves you more than you can comprehend.

Only by stopping the worship of the false feelings of great power hate pretends to give you, are you free to worship love— God. The adrenaline and endorphins released through rage and hate are the same overdosing effects as cocaine and heroin. We can see people throwing their lives away to drugs, not realizing that we have been looking in a mirror all along.

Turn your life over to one who cares about you even more than you do. God loves you, and is willing to die to prove it.
