Good morning friends. It is a great privilege to bring to you this soul-lifting piece. At first, I felt this might not be accepted by some because of our religious differences. Well, what I am about to tell you is not a religion but how we ought to live in a world where peace is relatively scarce and the hunger for personal gains has eroded care for neighbors. A world where individualism now prevails over collectivism.
God is love. Love is God. Do you know that when you apply love in every aspect of life, you have conquered all battles that life could pose at you. Love is the greatest law. To measure this assertion, just apply love to all evil thoughts of man, then, you will find the truth.
In place of wrath or anger, apply love, you will become sober. Practicing idolatry which God detests the most, when you love God, you won't bow to idols.

Things God Hates
√ God does not like a hand that sheds innocent blood. The story of Cain and Abel comes to heart here. In most cases, power tussle, political position, envy and greed could make a man murder his mate. The blood of man has a connect to God because God made man in his image and after His likeness. This is why the innocent blood of Abel cried for the earth, from the deepest and darkest underground where his brother had buried him. Cain was cursed for killing Abel.
√ A Proud Look is another thing that God does not want to see man exhibit. For His children, He wants them to show forth humility. Just like Jesus did before He was taken away into glory. He washed the very of his disciples, showing them how they too would serve those that are lesser.
God love the humble but resist the proud
Perhaps, your pride is taken over you, watch out, you may be heading for the bricks. Pride is a destroyer. It puts you in a pedal where you find it difficult to seek help. Egocentrism would never make you accept that you need help. God gives grace to the humble.
√ A Heart That Devises Wicked Imagination. Our God wants us to be hospitable and care for one another. So, He made us to be like Him. He shows love to the world by beaming lights from the sky in the morning and at night out of His love. But men have turned against the creation of God. They design evil thoughts to hamper what God has made. We have made God regret why He created man. This is why God said in His word:
The heart of man is desperately wicked....who can know it
Let's purge our heart of wicked thought and begin to think on bow we can better the world beginning from our immediate environment.
√ Sowing Discord Among Brothers is another thing that grieves the heart of God. People find pleasure is sowing seeds of dislike among friends. God does not want it. The divide and rule approach is taking over our political scene around the globe. All in the name of scoring political points, some people do extra mile in breaking the chord of unity and love. God wants brothers to dwell together in one accord.
Iron sharpens iron
√ False Witness and speaking lies. The devil, our enemy is the father of all liars. Telling lies also does not in any way add an inch to our stature, it rather diminishes our self-worth. Liars will go to hell. Be truthful in all your engagement, that virtue cannot be bought in the market, it could sell your identity to people who need the services of a truthful person. Do not join the wagon of liars because you feel that they have eaten their cakes and have it.
We can be better individuals by just looking inwards and ensuring to play our modest part the world around us by making better than. We met it.
