Hatred and love

-

ALLOW me to shareinsig­hts, and excerpts, even verbatim, from the book “There’s a Spiritual Solution to Every Problem” by Wayne W. Dyer.

He discusses in detail the popular prayer of St. Francis of Assisi, and devotes one full chapter on the prayer line: “Where there is hatred, let me sow love”.

Yes, where there is hatred, remember three words: “Love never fails”

(1 Cor. 13:8). Ponder upon these words. Shower love in the face of hatred.Be a delivery system for love!

People who seem to be spewing hate are projecting their feeling of being unloved. They take the omnipresen­t force of love and turn it in the opposite direction and practice hatred.

A person who hates is a person who feels hated, and projects that feeling or belief outward. Hatred often reveals a need for love, a cry for love.

When you encounter someone who resents you, that person usually feels resented, and is doing only what is possible for him to do, which is giving away what he has, the pain of being unloved.

If you see a person who is judgmental towards you, this person could possibly be sending out the judgment he feels directed at him. He could believe he is not loved, and is sending out disagreeab­le and hateful energy.

The way to dissolve hate is to make a loving effort to convince the person that he or she is loved.Hating ceases by loving.

St. Francis beseeches us to sow love where there is hatred. Unless hatred is stopped, anger, revenge, retaliatio­n and gloom come into the picture.

Hatred begets hatred.

It helps to remember that because God is love, He also loves the person who hates you.
