Loving God and being faithful to God’s plan requires hating everything in me that is opposed to God.
We have to avoid 2 mistakes:
- Never mistake earth for heaven.
- Never mistake the enemies on earth (illness, financial problems, other people, you name it) for only those things that are wrong in the world around you. There is much wrong in the world that we must try to correct. But your worst enemy is you. My worst enemy is me. I mean our tendency to want what we want MORE than what God wants and to think that’s perfectly OK. It isn’t.
