“Take care to guard against all greed,
for though one may be rich,
one’s life does not consist of possessions.”
(Lk 12:15)

There are three spiritual gifts
that would end all war
all hatred—all violence
against our Selves
and our Neighbor

mercy
forgiveness
compassion

hell is the rejection
of mercy, love
and compassion

it is the state of be-ing
in hatred—preferring guilt
and self hate
to God’s vow
God’s covenant
of mercy to us—we
His cherished children
