  LETTING GO OF HATRED

  Rev. Kay

1 John 4:14-21 Sometimes we find it easy to love God, but have difficulty loving other people. Yet true spiritual renewal means that we must grow to love God and others. God has so intertwined our love for Him with our love for others that when we seek God and surrender to Him, He requires us to give up our hatred and prejudice. We must love others with His love. And we can only do this through forgiveness.

The Apostle John wrote, "God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in him...If anyone says, 'I love God,' yet hates his brother , he is a liar. For anyone who does not love his brother, whom he has seen, cannot love God, whom he has not seen. And He has given us this command: Whoever loves God must also love his brother."

If we love God, God doesn't give us the option of hating our brothers and sisters. He doesn't even give us the option of hating our enemies. Jesus said, "I tell you who hear me: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you" (Luke 6:27-28). When we surrender to God, we must release our hatred, our prejudice and our bitterness to them. Surrender to God means forgiving and living a life of love.

Stamps goes up Monday, May 18, 2009


WASHINGTON (AP) — It'll cost Americans an extra 2 cents to mail a letter starting Monday.

The price of a first-class stamp will climb to 44 cents. It's the third year in a row that rates have gone up in May under a new system that allows annual increases as long as they don't exceed the rate of inflation for the year before.

While the increase will bring in added income, the post office continues to struggle financially as more and more lucrative first-class mail is diverted to the Internet, and the recession discourages businesses from sending their usual volume of advertising.

The Postal Service lost $2.8 billion last year and is $2.3 billion in the hole just halfway through this year.

Postmaster General John Potter has asked Congress for permission to reduce mail delivery to five days-a-week. The agency is offering early retirement to workers and making cuts in other areas.

Even so, the rate increase is unlikely to cover the losses and the possibility remains that the post office could run out of money before the end of the budget year, Sept. 30.

The post office could have cited extraordinary circumstances and asked the for larger increases, but officials worried that would only result in a greater decline in mail volume.

Postal officials estimate the increase will cost the average household $3 a year.
