The ONLY right path...

Father, your creation declares your greatness and lovingkindness, encouraging statements of pure truth in our daily walk... Hate is a strong word, one to be minimized so as not to offend nor for others to misunderstand our passion against the evil in this life, but I hate Satan with every ounce of energy I can muster up in this life. I never desire to hate the beautiful souls he has duped into thinking they're doing the right thing, but the father of all lies cannot be given into lest we wish to die an eternal death. Did the Christians suffer at the hands of the Roman government? Absolutely, so how did Paul challenge these Christians to think? He led with LOVE and followed up with NEVER accepting the evil in this life when he wrote, "Let love be genuine. Abhor what is evil; hold fast to what is good. Love one another with brotherly affection. Outdo one another in showing honor. Do not be slothful in zeal, be fervent in spirit, serve the Lord. Rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation, be constant in prayer." (Romans 12:9-12) I love you, Lord, and I love those who've chosen to love you in return. May we all come to the realization that following Jesus is the ONLY right path in this life… Thank you, Jesus, for showing us that you are the way, the truth, and the life; THE answer for those committed to seeking the truth in all things!
