It is very hard to love people who are hating on us

We must have the Holy Spirit or Holy ghost to do so. I believe the evidence of receiving the baptism of the Holy Ghost in Mathew 3:11 is speaking in tongues. I am not saying to have the spirit of God you must speak in tongues. I can only speak for myself and all the ones I have helped receive it. I was 18 and almost dead from drugs and sin and I received the Holy Ghost and I spoke in what I choose to call Gods heavenly language, or the tongues of angels mentioned in I Corinthian’s 13:1. I am 65 years old and still learning how to love like the father thru the son thru the spirit has loved me and forgiven me. I was upset at a man and wanted to hurt him some years back even though I have known the Lord for years. He told me that I have no right not to forgive him after all God has forgiven me for even after receiving his spirit. God used me to bring the same brother out of a drug house and kick cocaine. It is amazing when God uses us and the one we help ends up instructing us in righteousness. I strive to Perfect God’s love in my walk and hopefully he will finish the work in me. Like he did Apostle Paul. I spent most of my life being like Peter. Now I choose to want to be like Paul. I have been forgiven so much and in my flesh I am weak. Yet in the spirit I have overcome so much. Love is the best message we can preach in a dying world !
