I'm a hater...

As much as I like to think that I have control of some things in my life, I inevitably get tripped up now and then, as we all do. That's not an excuse to accept those trippings, but a chance to rebound from them as gracefully as I can.

One area of my concern lately is my anger. I have come to the conclusion that there are certain things I hate and need to deal with. For instance, I hate the effect the "principalities of this dark world" have on me and the ones I love the most. I hate the fact that I know so many people who would call themselves Christians and you would never know it by the way they live. That's dangerous thing for me to say because God knows I don't have my act together, but you know what? I at least give a dang to try because I love Jesus and don't want to grieve the Sprit anymore than I do... I hate to watch my hard earned money go straight to a government to waste and spend on those who don't want to work and pay for their easy living (not to mention their health insurance). I hate that there is nothing fair in life when it comes to relationships, security, love, sex, responsibility, wealth, health, kids, and the potential for all of those to cause me heartache. I hate the fact that now I have maybe accumulated some life wisdom in my older years, I haven't the body or spirit to act on it and those that I know have young body and spirit choose to ignore wisdom (I'm sure I was the same way and now the glove is on the other hand). I can go on and on... I'm a hater for sure, but will I let the love of God change me enough to hate less? I am praying for that very thing... for now, I'm a hater.
