“I have no hate for you.”

Are there people out there that you simply can’t stand? Do you think you could keep from hating someone who was actively trying to kill you? In the midst of a room full of his executioners, Arturo Diaz declared, “I have no hate for you.” What would it look like to live your life with such grace? You can begin to find out today.

“I have no hate for you.”

Amen.
