Stephen KingEvery man or woman who loves Him, they hate Him too, because He's a hard God, a jealous God.
About This Quote
When you love God, there is a part of you that doesn't want to love Him. You love Him but hate Him too. You love Him because He is a hard God, a jealous God. Jealousy is a part of your sin nature.
It can't be completely gotten rid of from your life, but it can be fought with the help of the Holy Spirit. When you fight against this jealousy and choose to love God more than anything else in this world, then you will begin to love the world as well as God. In that way, your hatred for the world will diminish and you will have a better understanding of how to live in this world.
