Say what you want to say but the Bible doesn’t lie. If you are constantly finding yourself in verbal or physical brawls or debate over useless things, you have hatred in your heart. It seems that some people can’t sleep unless they have had a good fight. Oh, I know, you can’t help it you were raised that way or it’s your tough exterior……….Whatever! It takes more strength to control yourself than to open your mouth and spew out non-sense. The root cause remains hatred in your heart. People with hatred in their heart will find a way to stir the pot. Listen, you will never have murder unless you first have hatred in you heart. Religious sects that kill in the name of god are full of hate and not God. On the other hand, people with love in their heart will go out of their way to avoid an avoidable fight. I say that because some arguments are unavoidable. You should never stand down on your values and standards, but even then, there is always a civil way of handling things. Case in point, the reason we have such a rukus in the Middle East is because they have no clue what civil means. Love is not part of their supposed god. People with love in their heart can’t help but to demonstrate it. The Bible say, “you can tell a tree by its fruit;” I agree. An apple tree will never produce lemons. In marriage, the person of love will overlook flaws in their spouse for the sake of their relationship. (ie) My house may have flaws I dislike, but I don’t blow it up. To do that would be foolish, and would leave me out in the cold. Some shelter is better than no shelter at all. Now I'm not ignorant, some flaws need to be addressed immediately, but you don’t use the attack mode method. Even a cornered mouse will fight. A person who has hatred in their heart will use cutting words to “help” their spouse. A person of love will point out flaws in a careful manner. Everyone wants to keeps some dignity. How about you? Are you a stirrer of strife or a builder of relationships?
