When Will All This Hate Be Over

As I stare outside through my windowpane, I feel the weight of so much hurt. The pain just won’t seem to go away.

The Lord created such a beautiful world, yet we humans have painted it ugly with hatred and division. It takes so much more energy to hate than to love—and love feels infinitely better.

I often wonder, when will all this hate be over? Am I the only one tired of the injustice, the senseless violence, the endless grief?

Society says, “Make it make sense. "But without Jesus, it will never make sense. Because God is not the author of confusion—the enemy is.

The Lord already gave the solution in 2 Chronicles 7:14:

“If My people, which are called by My name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.”

If we sincerely desire change, it must start with us. If we’re unwilling to change, how can we expect others to?

Jesus is the Way, the Truth, and the Life. Jesus is Love. So when will all this hate be over? When we all have Jesus.

I love You, Lord. I thank You for creating me—for the good and the bad, for the happy and the sad. Father, continue to use me so I can make a difference in the lives of others, leading them down the narrow road that leads Your children home to You.

Bless Your holy, holy name. Selah.
