Holding on to Hate is like filling a backpack full of rocks and carrying it around with you everywhere you go. It only weighs you down and serves no purpose but to slow you down. When you come upon someone speaking negative, turn away. Don’t get drawn into a negative dialogue, and don’t draw others into negative conversations. Work to eliminate them totally. You don't need to hold onto thoughts or feelings that will lessen the light and love of Christ which is in you.
