Numbers 14:18 says "The Lord is slow to anger and filled with unfailing love, forgiving every kind of sin and rebellion."
Take a minute--think about how you react to things. If someone steps on your foot by accident, how do you react? Do you show love and forgive or do you show hatred and get angry?
The Lord calls us to love one another. He loves us despite all we do, so why is it so hard for us to love one another? because we are simply imperfect. One of my favorite quotes, that I mostly use to describe myself is--"I am perfectly imperfect."
Truth is, whether you believe it or not, we are all sooo far from perfect. We all are perfectly imperfect.
We should all strive to be like Jesus. I mean c'mon! He died for us! He never sinned once! He is the only person to ever walk the earth who can honestly say that they have never sinned. He showed love and never hatred.
One of the 10 commandments says to love thy neighbor as thyself. Do we really follow that rule? Not all the time! Nobody is perfect, but we should all at least try.
To close this off--imagine a world where everyone hated everyone--then imagine a world where everyone loves everyone. Which world would you rather live? YOU are apart of this world. It's up to you to choose how to act. Do you want to try and make this world a better place or do you want to help make it worse than it already is?

"Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on it's own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrong doing, but rejoices with the truth." -1 Corinthians 13:4-6
