"I Hate Everything"



As a man one of the easiest things to become is jaded. Mean sometimes seems to be an exceptionable way to live our lives. Uncaring and emotionless are the default mode for the average man. In the end we go from detached to bitter than to hatred.

Why? Many of us never had the role models to teach us how to deal with stress and loss. And for most of us it is that awful word 'emotions' that make us run from any real connection. If I express how I feel I may open myself up and what if I'm rejected? What if my wife, my family or my friends don't like what they see? Instead, I'll play my cards close to the vest, so no one can ever really know me - therefore never really reject me.

The result? The result is the bitter old man who hates everything in the video above. Insecurity will push you away from people but security will open you up to them. Be secure that you are the man God wants. He made you! Be secure that you are the man God sent His Son to die for. Be secure that you can change through the power of the Holy Spirit. You don't have to be the bitter old man who hates everything. Replace the hatred with kindness and forgiveness.

If not, maybe George Strait will sing a song about you someday.

Ephesians 4:30-32

³⁰And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption.

³¹Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice:

³²And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you.
