What’s True About Love and Hate?

If someone talks hatefully about somebody they’re fighting with, you don’t have to listen. If someone wants you to be a part of their fight, you don’t have to join in. Ask Jesus to help you choose love instead of hate—and ask Jesus to help them choose love, too. The truth about love is that it helps people forgive each other and move on. The truth about hate is that it makes the fight even worse.
