God wants everything from us and He wants to be all to us. How can we focus on Him when so much of our energy is spent in holding onto the hate we feel? Hate clouds our perceptions and absorbs us. We are not then ready to see or hear what God has to say and are spiritually blinded. We come into the light by releasing those feelings, which first means we must decide that we are not the most important thing. It is our ego, our self, that desires to hold onto hate, the feeling that we have been wronged and we are greater than the one who has wronged us. The light shines on those who realize that they are the least. When we have lost our sense of self-importance, that is when God can begin to do His work through us.
