No Person

No Person

No person, no not one the world over, has ever been born hating another person. 

Hate comes from others teaching others to hate. 

Hate starts out in the home with words of indifference and dislike, 

And then grows outward into the community,

Until it infects everyone it touches throughout the world. 

Hate comes from many distorted beliefs and views of life, 

But ends in the hateful treatment of another's life,

Because of either religious beliefs, race resentment, cultural dislike, 

Or just plain indifference and dislike for their view or way of life. 

It comes from sin itself grown and wrapped in words, 

That breeds that indifference and dislike. 

By hearing and believing words, points of view, communicated by others. 

Satan has tempted and then entraps another to have contempt for others, 

He builds within them the fear of the loss of beliefs and needs, their way of life. 

They then turn on another, 

Making them feel different and completely unwanted by self and others, 

By making them feel inferior deep within their heart. 

By changing their outlook of life in body, soul, and spirit while tearing them apart. 

Pushing them aside to isolate and abandon in loneliness by removing the love of others. 

Instead use "The Word of God" on how you should treat, view, and love others,

For you can only change what lives within the heart within not others. 

Wash away the words of indifference and dislike, 

With Christ of the Cross and His words of life, 

"I love and care for you." 

Lord, build within me the humbleness of David, You Lead, 

Guide my thoughts and actions and teach me.
