Is it real hatred, Father?'said Elijah. 'Anger is an emotion that can rise up in us for legitimate reasons. But it can become hatred if we refuse to forgive, if we desire vengeance. The sin is only in the will. What do we choose to do with our anger? We must convert these feelings. Pray for our enemies. Suffer in silence. When the time comes, you will speak the truth before your accusers, but you must do it without rancor. Offer your sufferings to the Lord. He will use them as a powerful weapon to confound the devices of the enemy. Believe in the ultimate victory, and then your pain will become joy.
