I am hated for impersonal reasons. I am blamed for things I did not do. I am expected to be selfless by those who are selfish.
The reasons are insincere, always. When I am hated for my race, religion, nationality or sex it is because the haters want something… not because I did anything wrong. The grievances are excuses, whether legitimate or not.
EVIL is never good because of a greater evil. The sins of another do not justify your own.
JEALOUSY never justifies. On the contrary: It motivated the first murder.
Right and wrong are not actually matters of good and evil. If you are wronged you have a right to do something about it… but you shall be judged regardless. The merciful shall be spared. The merciless shall be damned.
God is love. The wicked are hateful. The Spirit is friendship. The wicked are unfriendly. The Word is truth. The wicked are liars.
I am hated by the hateful, mistreated by the unfriendly
and slandered by liars. We all are. It is why our world is miserable. Those other
reasons have nothing to do with it.
