This word is very strong in English. The word "hate" in the Bible is often used to express priority and preference rather than emotional hatred. In this biblical passage the Greek word used is miséō (μισέω) and means: – properly, to detest (on a comparative basis); hence, denounce; to love someone or something less than someone (something) else, i.e. to renounce one choice in favor of another. One should not hate his mother and father. One should place them less than their love for God. Not all followers of Christ are disciples, but all followers are called to be disciples. We are all called to place God first.<br />Now read the Gospel passage and see how different it feels when understanding the definition of the word "hate." Are we just a follower or a full disciple of Christ?<br />Vivat Jesus, Bill GilmanWilliam Gilmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18289051396714916363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3486171948248040526.post-5044152874847916252016-08-27T09:38:16.309-04:002016-08-27T09:38:16.309-04:00Thanks for the inspirational reflection.

The Sisters have that gracious influence over everyone. I grew up with that influence all of my life--Sisters as grade school teachers, attended the boarding school Academy for high school, and constant contact ever since. I am so glad that you can experience the love and hospitality that is their trademark. BTW, I enjoyed taking your sister Shea to Gethsemane in June!

In the choice of the twelve, we see a characteristic feature of God's work: Jesus chose very ordinary people. They were non-professionals, who had no wealth or position. They were chosen from the common people who did ordinary things, had no special education, and no social advantages. Jesus wanted ordinary people who could take an assignment and do it extraordinarily well. He chose these men, not for what they were, but for what they would be capable of becoming under his direction and power. <br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3486171948248040526.post-66400125510017687952016-01-21T09:44:22.848-05:002016-01-21T09:44:22.848-05:00Each of us have such a unique and individual path ...Each of us have such a unique and individual path in our walk with God, and I try to always remember this when I look at another person.

It is a pity that it is not often explained plainly from the pulpit.<br /><br />You're also so right in saying that at times we find it difficult to forgive ourselves. The memories and regrets seem to block any belief that a loving forgiving Father has already forgiven what has been repented.
