Both love and hate have
been characterized as pleasurable. You may agree that love is pleasurable, but
not hate. Hate may be pleasurable when imagined conversations give you dominance
over others. Perhaps hate is pleasurable by giving the possessor power and
control when faced with difficult situations.
While hate may be pleasurable
in an unhealthy sense, is it productive? When hate is directed toward others,
it cannot be productive from God’s viewpoint. Keeping hatred suppressed may
cause sleepless nights or acute anxiety because of its association with fear
and guilt.
Get rid of hate by realizing hatred is
undesirable. Decide to give it up by asking God to forgive you. Believe God’s
word: “Vengeance is mine, I will repay says the Lord.” Accept God’s way as a
better way to manage relationships. Seek professional help for letting go of
anger and hatred so inner peace can be achieved. Determine to be a peacemaker
so you can be blessed by God.
