1 John 4:20 KJV
If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen?
Growing up, I always heard that you can’t love God with hate in your heart. Now I understand what it means. If you can despise and hate the very people you are supposed to pray for, then you need to pray for God to put love in your heart. You have to love your brother, even if he is doing wrong, because God told you to. Remember, no matter how sorry they are, Jesus still loved them enough to die for their sins as well.
