Pastor Bruce Wood has written a fascinating, challenging, and insightful opinion on the death of Bin Laden and what it means to have hate in your heart instead of love. The contrasts are sharply defined and powerful in the spiritual truth that is uncovered here.

" Bin Laden taught us this much: hate will only beget more hate. I am sure he loved as well. He loved his family, his brothers-in-arms and even his man-made twisted view of god. And Jesus speaks to this as well. If we love only those whom we choose are worthy of that love, we announce to everyone else that they are unworthy of being loved. This was the life bin Laden chose. I choose love."
"Let us be the people who reach out in love, who sacrifice for peace and who do not revel in the death of others but work to prevent even one more life being wasted for the cause of hate."
I couldn't agree more with this sentiment. When you let go of fear, hate and all the rest of those toxic emotions, life becomes proactive instead of reactive. Solid insights.
