Rising above hate and into the Love of God is the most uplifting thing. It feels so free to see for once the world in complete love... and that's actually the only time I see the world complete.

Haters, Hate, so and so did this, so and so did that, Hypocrisy. Man you could cloud your mind with all the self righteous thoughts that you could and at the end of the day I bet you couldn't say truthfully that with all that in your mind you are as happy as a 5 year old. I bet you couldn't say that you have total peace in your heart.

But, once you step out of the enslaving battle of hate vs. hate, you realize that the bigger picture and the greatest battle of all is the battle of love vs. hate. When you stand for love in all its mysteriousness and curvy and confusing roads, you'll see what God has truly called of us to persevere in.

In the battle for love, no other place is there that all that is good is truly defined. No other place can you find the right road to try and learn what you can about hope, faith, forgiveness, humility, virtues, patience, perseverance, kindness, charity, and everything else that is good.

Everything else that is God.

When you stand for God, you stand for love. And when you stand for love, it's the only time in our short human lives on Earth that we truly see the universe complete.

"And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love." -1 Corinthians 13:13 (NIV)
