Hate is not the opposite of love. Indifference is. Love is the energy directed towards another person for their sake so that it costs you. Hate is the energy directed at another person for your sake so that it costs them. Hate makes you blind. When you use all this energy against someone, you have no idea the damage you’re doing until it gets brought into the light. Jesus takes all your hate and absorbs it. This frees us to bring it into the light. Confess your pain, your hurt, and your hate. Confession breaks its power. Then you can forgive as you have been forgiven by Jesus.
