Hating is a sin

I moved recently. I was unpacking my things and I came across this poem/thoughts from years ago. Still relevent today.

There is no LOVE in Jealousy

Why do we hate and get greedy? Envy our brothers and sisters victory. Don't despise when you see others on their rise. Cause in due time you would want them to be happy for you. Rejoice when they rejoice. Mourn when they mourn. Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. There's no love in jealousy. I think it's just a sign that shows were not complete. Cause when you don't know who you are it drives you to compete. Remember we are a team. We are for one another not against one another. Forgetting that service is an act of LOVE. Sow seed unto peoples lives with asking nothing in return and with no strings attached knowing that your reward comes from above and not man. Do not use one another for selfish gain but know your gain comes from when you give. Speak life to one another. Speak LOVE to one another. Build and lift each other up with our words. Do not speak or act mean. Be kind at all times not just when you want something. It just reveals our own inadequecies. Our attitudes and motives to our dreams should be, "When I make it I take you with me". Not "I use you to help me to do me". And when I see you fly, It inspires me and drives me to continue to reach high. Thats why our dreams are not just for ourselves. Our dreams are not just for "I" but for "Us". Prefer one another more than ourselves. We need each other. LOVE one another. There is freedom in LOVE.

This is excellent:

Haters!!
Hater/ By Maya Angelou A hater is someone who is jealous and envious and spends all their time trying to make you look small so they can look tall. They are very negative people to say the least. Nothing is ever good enough! When you make your mark, you will always attract some haters... That's why you have to be careful with whom you share your blessings and your dreams, because some folk can't handle seeing you blessed... It's dangerous to be like somebody else... If God wanted you to be like somebody else, He would have given you what He gave them! Right? You never know what people have gone through to get what they have... The problem I have with haters is that they see my glory, but they don't know my story... If the grass looks greener on the other side of the fence, you can rest assured that the water bill is higher there too! We've all got some haters among us! Some people envy you because you can: a) Have a relationship with God b) Light up a room when you walk in c) Start your own business d) Tell a man / woman to hit the curb (if he / she isn't about the right thing) e) Raise your children without both parents being in the home Haters can't stand to see you happy. Haters will never want to see you succeed. Most of our haters are people who are supposed to be on our side. How do you handle your undercover haters? You can handle these haters by: 1. Knowing who you are & who your true friends are *(VERY IMPORTANT!!) 2. Having a purpose to your life: Purpose does not mean having a job. You can have a job and still be unfulfilled. A purpose is having a clear sense of what God has called you to be. Your purpose is not defined by what others think about you. 3. By remembering what you have is by divine prerogative and not human manipulation. Fulfill your dreams! You only have one life to live...when its your time to leave this earth, you 'want' to be able to say, 'I've lived my life and fulfilled 'my' dreams,... Now I'm ready to go HOME! When God gives you favor, you can tell your haters, 'Don't look at me...Look at Who is in charge of me...' Pass this to all of your family & friends who you know are not hating on you including the person who sent it to you. If you don't get it back, maybe you called somebody out! Don't worry about it, it's not your problem, it's theirs.. Just pray for them, that their life can be as fulfilled as yours! Watch out for Haters...BUT most of all don't become a HATER!
